Project Video Report (Assignment P14)
Video presentation
This is a description of what you did in your project, created in a
way that will clearly communicate your most important results to your
classmates. For an instructor-designed project, you can choose to
talk about either your user study or your batch evaluation; do not try
to split your focus to talk about both. For other projects, you
should endeavor to at least briefly mention every aspect of what you
did, but you should give greater focus to aspects of the project that
involve evaluation results and novel design innovations. You can create
your video report using any software that you wish, but the final
version should be submitted either as an .mp4 video file (if you wish
that it be shared only with your classmates) or as a YouTube URL. You
may find that Panopto Recorder, which is available through ELMS, is a
useful tool for this purpose. Your video should be about 10 minutes
long, and it should address the same topics as the written report for
the component that you choose to use, although in less detail. Here's
a useful outline for a project presentation video:
- Describe the questions that you sought to answer..
- Describe the systems or systems that you are evaluating Don't get
too carried away here -- all you need is enough for people to
understand how the questions you wanted to answer are related to what
the system(s) you used actually does.
- Describe the design of your study.
- Summarize what you learned, and present results that support
those claims.
- Describe the limitations of your study that affect the
interpretations of your conclusions.
- Say a few words about what you learned by doing the project.
This need not be limited to things related to the part of your project
that you chose to focus on in the rest of your video presentation.
- End with any thoughts you might have about future work that
others might perform based on what you have learned.
You can select a single presenter for your project, or you can share
the presentation in whatever way you wish across your team members.
You can submit your presentation video using ELMS. The video
presentation (but not your written reports) will be shared with other
students in the course. You may, if you wish, instead submit a public
URL for your video presentation; if you do, that will be linked from
the course Web page (for public display).
As with all project components, your video presentation will
contribute to your overall project grade, which will be holistic (not
some formulaic combination of grades for separate parts).
