The next page contains instructions for submitting the PowerPoint presentation. (1,000 words) (25 marks) (LOs 1 and 5)
Task 1: Assessment Submission Guidance
Before submitting your individual presentation for task 1, please follow the instructions below:
1. Voice narration
Each slide in your presentation should have a voice narration:
It is recommended that your voice narration does not exceed ten minutes
It is recommended that you should speak for one minute for each slide.
There is no word limit on your narration.
Voice narration should be incorporated within each slide separately and not submitted as a separate voice file - please watch the following video on how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP3kTmsnbnY
2. Notes section
As your written word limit is 1,000 words, you should include approximately 100 words in the notes section of each slide.
You should use these 100 words to describe the information you present on each slide (normal citation and paraphrasing requirements apply).
Please note that the 100-word limit applies to the notes section only, not to the content on each slide, where you may include any information you believe will enhance your presentation.
3. Content
Each slide may contain text, pictures, videos, tables, figures, graphs, etc. - but do not overdo it.
Generally, slides should contain a minimum amount of content, which can be enhanced by your (voice) narration, and the information provided in the notes section.
Your slides should be presented in a professional manner.
Throughout your presentation, please make sure to cite relevant (academic) sources.
The information contained in the slides as well as the notes section should not be merely read. The information must be presented as though it were being presented to a live audience that is interested in learning more about it.
4. Amount of slides
Your presentation must contain a total of exactly 12 slides:
Slide 1 : The first slide is the cover page (where you will include your title and student ID only). To ensure that your presentations look professional, please use the official Arden cover page
Slides 2 to 11 : This is the presentation itself. Remember to include voice narration and notes in the notes section of each slide.
Slide 12: This is the reference list for all of the (academic) sources that you cited throughout the presentation.
5. Submission
You should create two PowerPoint files with your presentation:
1. One PowerPoint file should include your voice narration Task 1 Presentation [INCLUDE VOICE]
2. Second PowerPoint file should be without the voice narration Task 1 Presentation [DO NOT INCLUDE VOICE]
3. Your report file that includes tasks 2 and 3 should be uploaded in the submission box with the title: Tasks 2 and 3 (REPORT)

In answering this question, you should engage with key concepts and research signposted in module material and your own extensive reading.
You should also consider the extent to which factors that lead to success with global virtual are one and the same as those that lead to success for homogenous, ‘traditional’ teams.
