A Guided Map for Reviewing Presentation Document in Rehearsal
Abstract: Presentation is a very important activity for research. However, novice researchers have little experience and skill in creating presentation documents (P-documents), and they often fail in properly transmitting the research contents to the audiences. They accordingly need to rehearse their presentations several times to reflect on and improve their P-documents before presentation. In the rehearsals, they could obtain reviews or comments from the audiences, but it is not easy for them to property interpret the reviews/comments to refine their P-documents. This paper addresses how to help the novice researchers reflect on their P-documents with the reviewed obtained. Our approach to this issue is to generate presentation guide maps (P-maps), which intends to represent an essential structure of presentation. This paper also reports a case study whose purpose was to investigate whether P-maps could promote understanding the presentation for audiences.
