Module Indicative Content
The success of job applications, sales pitches, new product launches, project proposals, teaching and instructional sessions etc. depends on the ability to develop, package and personally present information in a style and format consistent with the event. This can take the form of a physical or digital portfolio, an oral presentation, a display stand of 2-D, 3-D and virtual designs. This module will examine good (and bad!) practice and develop skills and confidence to enhance student employability. A range of appropriate technologies will be utilised.
