2013 Project Talks
Purpose:
The project talks are a quick way to introduce newcomers to Apereo about all of the major projects in the Apereo portfolio. Each presentation is short – 7-8 minutes – and covers the goals of a project, how the software or solution can be used, and perhaps a few highlights of key features or how specific institutions are using that software or solution. It's also an opportunity for the presenters to cross-promote later sessions on the schedule.
Format:
7-8 minute presentation. Key points to cover – What is the project? Why should you care? What are the benefits? How to learn more/participate?
Talk and visuals (whether PowerPoint, etc.)
KISS – Keep it short and simple
End with promotion of relevant session in program
Example slides from last year are here: 2012-06-12 Jasig and Sakai Lightning Sessions 1
Style
Talks should be informative but also fun
Don't be afraid of humor
Don't be afraid of visuals, color
The Fewer words on a slide, the better

BREAK. Bedework is the last session in this block. Presentations end and the next session resumes at 11:00 AM. Do not start the next presentation until 11:00 AM – please honor the session blocks. Last year, people were disappointed since they came to a session expecting content, but the speakers had blasted ahead (ignoring the break) and then the attendees missed the content. | |||||
