Work in Progress: Sharing Learning Resources in the Development of an Online Engineering Presentations Course

Good presentation skills are almost always among the most valuable and most desirable skills in engineers, but there are few educational examples on the Web for students to see how engineers actually practice such an important skill. In this project, our goal is to create online courseware for teaching presentation skills to engineering students by pooling the learning resources available on campus - English presentation teachers and trainers, actual students presenting at international conferences - and showcasing examples of how engineers apply these lessons to real presentations. We use multimedia authoring tools to generate the contents and combine them with student testing and logging elements to create a completely open online courseware package for students to learn technical presentation skills and watch how others learned as well
