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.
