The module, running
Open full screenFour of the eight menu buttons work: Self-assessment, Introduction, Planning and Videos. Structuring, Delivery and Review were never authored. This is the 2017 package exactly as it was published, not a broken embed, and the buttons for the unbuilt sections change colour and stop there. Best viewed on a desktop screen: the stage is fixed 4:3 and does not reflow.
What is in it
- Unit menu
- Eight buttons, branching to each section.
- Self-assessment and survey
- Two separate instruments, both before the taught content.
- Introduction
- Objectives, communication skills, conversation openers, topics to avoid, what makes a good presenter, overcoming nerves, a summary and next steps.
- Planning the presentation
- Identifying your topic, why audiences matter, reading your audience's needs, and choosing a strategy.
- Video wall
- Embedded talks, each on its own screen.
- Structuring, Delivery, Review
- Menu buttons only. Never authored, and the module says so.
How it was packaged
The same course went out to four standards, because the standard is chosen by whichever platform the client runs, not by the person authoring it. It was published Flash first with HTML5 underneath, so when Flash was pulled from every browser in 2020 the working output was already in the package. That is why a 2017 course still plays above with no LMS attached to it.
