1 Presentation #1 has several parts. The main deliverable will be a video presentation which you will post in the Discussions area. You will also upload your PowerPoint and a copy of your video file in the Assignments area. Here is a breakdown of what you need to do:
1) Create a PowerPoint presentation with at least 1 slide for each of the following:
1. Title Slide linkedin , your name, course name, and your professor’s name)
2. Purpose of the Information System
3. Users of the Information System (identify different types/categories of users, and what they use the system for)
4. Server-Side Hardware of the Information System
5. Server-Side Software of the Information System
6. Client-Side Hardware of the Information System
7. Client-Side Software of the Information System
8. Three Main Functions of the Information System (include screenshots) [This should be at least 3 slides – one per main function].
9. References (list your references in APA format)
Note: You may reuse what you posted in the Week 2 Discussion as appropriate for some of the above slides.
2) After you have prepared your PowerPoint presentation, you will need to record a 7-10 minute video presentation. You can use any video / screen recording software that you already have on your computer. If you have a Zoom account, the “Record” function in Zoom, combined with the ability to share your screen (and thus display your PowerPoint) is very handy for making videos. If you don’t have screen recording software, you should be able to find and download a free screen recording program on the internet, such as the ones in this article (16 Best Free Video Recording Software [2023] (screencapture.com)).
3) Your presentation should have two parts:
1. First, share your screen and display your PowerPoint in Slide Show mode, and discuss the topics on each of the slides in your PowerPoint. Remember that it is best to put bullet points on your PowerPoint slides, and to explain and elaborate on them verbally as you are showing the slides (rather than putting paragraphs on the slides and reading them).
2. After you finish showing and narrating your PowerPoint presentation, you should then log into your information system and give us a virtual tour of the system, showing us the main features and functions in the system and explaining what the user can do in the various areas of the system.
Note: When choosing your information system, I advised you to stay away from systems that contain confidential or personal information. Be mindful when giving us a tour of your information system to not display anything confidential or personal in your video.
4) When you have finished recording your video, upload it to a post in the “Week 3 Presentations” thread in the Discussion area. Make sure you embed the video in the post itself, rather than just a link to an external hosting site like YouTube. APUS requires all work to be submitted and archived in the classroom.
5) In the Assignments area, upload your PowerPoint and your video file to this assignment and submit it for grading.
6) Return to the Discussion thread and view some of your classmates’ videos. Reply to at least two classmates, giving them feedback on their video and telling them what you learned from them.
