Publication Date: 2020
The virtual environment has led to opportunities that previously existed only in real time and at on-site locations. For example, the advent of GoToMeeting, WebEx, Google Hangouts, YouTube, TED Talks, and many other platforms has transformed the way in which we meet, present, and interact. However, the way in which students are instructed to create and deliver presentations, to plan and prepare for meetings, and to seek and participate in training has not altered--or in the best of circumstances has received only minimal attention. In fact, oral presentation instruction in most classes still follows the traditional speech-making (or formal address) approach for teaching students the concepts of creating and delivering effective presentations. In a world driven by technology, the absence of instructional guides and materials for the "how-to" of delivering effective virtual presentations must be addressed. This book provides a practical approach with clear guidelines for creating and delivering webinars, e-meetings, virtual presentations, and virtual product demonstrations, including checklists and examples. Whether you are a college student, an employee, or a supervisor/manager/executive, this book will provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to be an effective virtual presenter.
