Corporate Training Presentations

Individuals or teams will effectively present valuable information to corporate employees about the professional use of a collaboration technology. A collaboration technology is any technology that allows professional individuals to work together from different locations and/or from different computers to achieve a common goal.

You have been asked by your company’s CEO to cut costs in your division. Your travel budget, corporate training budget, time answering frequently asked questions about your product, and unproductive meeting schedules are good places to start. Each of the above items is very costly to your division; technologies can solve this dilemma. Some examples follow:

 YouTube Media and Channels
 GoogleDocs
 Wikis
 Facebook
 Twitter
 LinkedIn
 GoTo Meeting
 Cover It Live
 Blogs
 Windows Live Mesh
 Join.me
 Specific Cloud Technologies
 Specific Communication-Related Smartphone Apps

Your corporate-quality training presentation will focus on the practical business use of the technology and how it may be used professionally to enhance communication, performance, and feedback in a collaborative environment. In order to meet the time requirement, the presentation should focus only on relevant information.

The trainings will be completed using Microsoft PowerPoint or any technology that allows a visual and audio experience for the audience. A “Recording with PowerPoint” handout follows to help you get started. Your training sessions will be created using PowerPoint with voice recordings and posted to Canvas or emailed to your evaluator by 3:30 p.m. on December 5. In addition, each student will be assigned to view and evaluate two recordings by December 7 by class time. The Peer Evaluation Sheet will be used for the project grading.

Presentations should be 5-10 minutes in length. Each member of the team (if not individual) must participate in researching and presenting the given topic; thus an assignment delegation and work plan are highly recommended.

Work Plan should include a well-defined scope, division of duties, and time schedule (with intermediate due dates)

Important Note: Please be careful emailing the collaboration projects; use bft.usu.edu to send projects to Susan and your evaluators if your files are large.

Excuses are not accepted for late assignments.
