READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND ALL REQUIREMENTS BEFORE STARTING THIS ASSESSMENT
Value: 40% of final mark
Duration: 10 minutes per student (maximum) Mode of work: Individual.
Instructions about marking
Marks will be based on the oral presentation itself, including the delivery of the presentation, the content covered in the presentation and the slides used by the student. The slides developed by the student will be uploaded to a Presentation slides folder at the VU Collaborate site.
The Delivery criterion will represent a mark reflecting how well a particular student presented. The Content of presentation criterion is for the quality of the actual content in the presentation, and the Slides criterion reflects the quality of the slides.
Presentation instructions
You are to give an oral presentation to the class. The presentation will be about your investigation into an ethical article you have chosen from a list of articles provided to you at VU Collaborate (in the Presentation slides folder), and applying the following Learning Outcomes of this unit to that article:
LO 1. Demonstrate an understanding of codes of ethics in Information and Communication Technology;
LO 3. Critically discuss social, ethical and privacy issues in Information and Communication Technology domains
LO 5. Communicate effectively on a range of social, ethical and privacy issues
You need to work out how 1. relates to the article so that you are able to present about the application of ACS and ACM codes of ethics (covered previously in the unit) to that article. What principles or points of these codes can explain ethical issues or problems in that particular article?
You need to work out how 3. relates to the article so that you are able to present about the social issues and/or ethical issues and/or privacy issues of that article. What are the details about the particular social and/or ethical and/or privacy issues of that article?
Lastly, how do you communicate in an appropriate, relevant and useful way about the social and/or ethical and/or privacy issues of that article (i.e., how do you fulfill 5.)? Since communication here is in the form of an oral presentation to an audience, how will you use the medium of a presentation to communicate effectively about the contents of your PowerPoint slides?
You are provided with a set of articles at the Presentation slides folder at Dropbox. A table contains the titles of the articles and the URLs where they are located. You use the URLs to access and read those articles and work out which one you would like to study and present about. Ensure that the maximum limit of three students has not been reached for that particular article, otherwise you will not be able to present about it and will have to choose another article for which the maximum limit has not yet been reached. The purpose is to have a good spread and coverage of the articles presented in the last week of the block. You will present only one article.
When you have decided which particular article you want to present, return to the table to verify that maximum limit of three students for that article has not been reached. If the maximum limit has not been reached already, email the VU Sydney lecturer (do not email the Unit Convenor as he is not involved in your presentations in Sydney and your email will be ignored) to inform him that this is the article you wish to present. The VU Sydney lecturer will reply to state whether you can proceed with the article (as the maximum limit has not been reached) or to find another article. Please do not provide a set of articles in an order of preference, but only one article that you truly are interested in presenting.
In your email, also state a period of time on Tuesday, 23 May or Wednesday, 24 May, when you prefer to present. Do not state a specific point in time, for instance, 4pm on Tuesday. Instead, you could state that the period of time you prefer to present is between 3:30pm and 9:30pm on that day. The lecturer will do his best to accommodate your preference and eventually allocate your presentation time exactly somewhere within that period. The “Schedule of presentations” section below states the dates and times
when presentations will occur.
Therefore, the two points in your email to the VU Sydney lecturer are:
- Article you have chosen
- Preferred period of time to present
