15. Communication requires: A sender A message A recipient… Ideally we test the effectiveness of communication by examining whether the recipient can use the information provided

22. We used Dropbox to collaborate on this presentation Why? Simultaneous update in realtime. Everytime one of us modified the presentation, we were alerted to a new version. Stable. 2 GB is free, and sufficient for at least a couple of projects Can be saved off-stack to free up space. Available on all platforms Combination of ‘cloud’ and ‘personal’ data space Note: This is not an advert for Dropbox. There are good alternatives!
25. Presentation Skills revisited… So let’s get going. Today is not going to be about me standing in front of of you all with a PowerPoint presentation, and as a presenter reading out everything on the slide, and expecting the audience to diligently listen… What is wrong with this?
