We chose the learning platform of using Prezi which is a lot similar to Microsoft's PowerPoint but it is internet based and not computer programed based. Its a Website that you create an account on to create various types of presentations for school and or the workplace. The website have a free account that is open to the public or you may purchase different types of access that allows you to more advanced options. My group member came up with the idea of choosing to use Prezi as the platform for our module and I thought it was a great idea. I recently just became familiar with the program within the last two years because my program director prefers Prezi as a more professional presentations for out end of the semester case studies. I had no idea about this presentation program and if I did I probably would've been using it sooner. We decided to choose Prezi because were giving people especially college students another medium to do there presentations with.
We divided the tasks for the assignment as follows: I created the discussion and the assignment for the module and my other group member uploaded the supporting materials and also created a quiz for the assignment. In order to complete the assignment me and my group member used another social media outlet to communicate. Google hangout is an easy mean of communication. Especially if you have the app on your phone it makes it so convenient to communicate.
As college students, with multiple classes that require several presentation types of assignments throughout the semester our audience we targeted would be our fellow peers. I personally would have loved to know about the program before it was required of me to use it. That way I would have already been familiar with how to use it, and wouldn't have been so lost in the beginning.
Doing this project was a good experience to be on the other end of the module and see how the Canvas network is behind the scenes and also what goes into creating an assignment.
