COMM 212: Public Speaking & Professional Presentation Guide

Types of Presentation Aids

Presentation aids often come in the form of photographs, charts, graphs, brief video clips, and audio files.  The Library has a number of collections and resources that provide existing presentation aids and/or allow for the creation of customized presentation aids.

ArcGIS, available in the Student Multimedia Design Center, provides digital  mapping.

Google Earth Pro, accessible on the computers in the Student Multimedia Design Center, can be used for quick research or to create maps.

Additional Resources

SMDC Studios 2, 3, and 4

Get the most out of in-class speaking by doing a trial run in the Student Multimedia Design Center using studio 2, 3, or  4.  You can record yourself giving a presentation in these studios and review what’s working – and where you might improve.  Students call (302)831-8832 or stop by the service desk to reserve studio space.
