Assignment 1: Draft project presentation
Teamwork: This may be an individual or team (of two) assessment, as advised by the course coordinator.
Individual marks will be the same as overall marks unless there is an obvious mismatch in contribution (such as a member not attending the presentation).
Instructions
You have been asked to prepare a demonstration of mobile technologies to the directors of a technology company. At this stage they are looking for a concept only. You will prepare a draft plan of your project that uses mobile technologies. This project should be a practical project that uses the techniques discussed in this course. It must include a mobile app using C# in Visual Studio and Xamarin.
What is not acceptable:
• A concept that does not use the methods and techniques discussed in this course.
• Any material that has been submitted for assessment for another course.
• Any material prepared by another person/team. All material presented, including visual aids, must be your work.
• Vague statements about what your project will do, with no evidence of any plan or progress towards your goals.
• A completely unrealistic or over-ambitious idea for a project with no concrete idea of how it will be achieved.
The draft project concept should include a clear plan about the project, where information will be sourced from, what resources will be required, what technical problems are anticipated and where you expect to find help to solve those problems. When you are looking for ideas for your project, see what else is on the web but also try to be original.
At this stage your draft project will be assessed only by a DIGITAL presentation. This will be a digital video verbal and visual presentation recorded and submitted/published. It is completely up to you of the format of the video, but one simple approach is to record a Zoom session (with your group if you are working in one) with the session alternating between sharing your desktop to go through documents and designs of the proposed application, speaking to the camera, PowerPoint slides, and possibly even a working prototype of your project. If you are working as part of a team, all members of the team must be present and must participate in the presentation. Make sure you prepare for your presentation by rehearsing well. Use a presentation style that is clear, so that your message can be easily understood. Don’t go over time: whenever you are asked to give a presentation in a professional context you must respect the viewing audience. Going over time shows disrespect and poor planning. If your presentation lasts more than about 5 minutes, the part that goes over may be ignored during marking. Try to be entertaining, be confident, and to engage your projected audience.
Your peer feedback will consist of short comments you make while you watch other presentations. These comments will be collected, marked, and will go towards your mark for this assignment. The comments you make will not be identified to other students. In other words, your peers will see the comments you made about them but will not know who made the comments. Please make the comment positive and constructive.
Examples of poor and unhelpful comments:
• Your project is useless (too negative)
• You could improve this project (not specific enough – how could it be improved?)
Examples of constructive comments:
• I would like to hear more about the purpose of this project – why is it useful?
• The user interface is not clear, because it’s not obvious what to do after you select option “A” from the list.
How to submit your assignment
You will submit your digital presentation of your draft project concept presentation no later than 11:59 pm on the Friday of week 6. During the 2-hour allocated lab time you will each be required to access the videos which will be made available online. A peer feedback form will also be made available for download to complete while you are watching each of the videos. You are expected to watch and comment on ALL the allocated submitted videos except your own. Once all feedback has been completed you will then be required to submit your feedback forms online for review. There will be no lectures or lab in this week to allow sufficient time to prepare presentations and watch all of them.
Personal Circumstances:
If you are unable to complete a presentation in the manner described above for any reason, you are advised to make an application for Adverse Circumstances, and to make this as early as possible so that alternative arrangements can be made for your assessment.
