Week 7 Project: Presenting Your Solution Proposal

Week 7 Project Presenting Your Solution Proposal the Medium And Method

The medium and methods you select for presenting your information and proposing your solution system can influence the way it is received by your clients and stakeholders, and ultimately influence the final decisions that are made. This week, you will synthesize the salient points that you discovered during your review of literature, and use them to support a multimedia-based presentation of your solution proposal. As directed in Week 5, you should have selected a presentation medium that is appropriate to the stakeholder audience and context that you previously identified and submitted for Instructor approval.

The following are examples of the types of medium you may wish to use:

  • Narrated PowerPoint or Screencast (using Adobe Captivate)
  • Web page/website (with graphics and audio)
  • Video (using Adobe Premiere Pro)

Using your approved medium, create a multimedia presentation that includes:

  • An overview of your problem, including the background and context
  • A high-level summary of the most important points discovered during your review of literature
  • A step-by-step outline of your proposed solution, including your rationale for your proposed solution
  • Next steps that should be taken by you or your stakeholders to initiate development of the solution

I chose a narrative PowerPoint presentation.

Title: Effective Communication of Instructional Design Solutions Through Multimedia Presentations

Introduction

In the field of instructional design, effective communication of proposed solutions is vital for gaining stakeholder support and ensuring successful implementation. Selecting the appropriate medium and method of presentation profoundly influences stakeholder engagement and decision-making processes. This paper discusses the strategic selection of presentation media, exemplified through a narrative PowerPoint approach, emphasizing the integration of literature review insights to craft compelling, informative multimedia presentations.

The Importance of Medium Selection in Instructional Design

The choice of presentation medium directly impacts the clarity, engagement, and persuasiveness of the proposed instructional solutions. According to Clark and Mayer (2016), multimedia learning environments enhance understanding through the combination of visual and auditory stimuli, fostering better retention and comprehension. When selecting such media, instructional designers must consider factors like audience preferences, technological accessibility, and the complexity of the content.

Using Narrative PowerPoint as a Presentation Medium

A narrative PowerPoint presentation offers a structured, visual storytelling approach that facilitates clear communication of complex ideas. This medium allows the designer to incorporate visuals, animations, and audio narration, making the content more engaging. As outlined by Kapp (2012), narrative-driven presentations help in contextualizing problems, illustrating solutions, and maintaining audience interest throughout the presentation.

Components of an Effective Multimedia Solution Proposal

The presentation should begin with an overview of the problem, including background and contextual details that ground the discussion. This aligns with the literature emphasizing the need for stakeholders to understand the problem space (Reigeluth & An, 2016). Next, a summary of key literature synthesis highlights the most relevant findings that support the proposed solution, demonstrating evidence-based decision-making.

The core section details a step-by-step outline of the proposed solution, with rationale grounded in research. For example, if the solution involves implementing a new learning management system, the presentation would describe each implementation phase, supported by literature on change management and instructional technology integration (Austin, 2018). Finally, the proposed next steps provide a clear pathway for stakeholders to engage in ongoing development and deployment.

Conclusion

In summary, the selection of a multimedia presentation medium like a narrative PowerPoint can significantly enhance the delivery and reception of instructional design proposals. By integrating research findings into a compelling visual and auditory narrative, instructional designers can better communicate complex solutions and facilitate stakeholder buy-in, ultimately contributing to successful project outcomes (Mayer, 2019). The strategic approach outlined demonstrates how well-chosen media and content synthesis foster professional practice and ethical standards in instructional design.
