PowerPoint C3 Group Presentation of research on existing or emerging IT-related technology and related ethical issues (Group) (15%)
This assignment is a continuation of the individual activity (C1 and C 2) on researching an existing or emerging IT technology and its related ethical issues.
Work in your assigned groups for this assignment as it is a continuation of the individual activity (C1) on researching an existing or emerging IT technology and its related ethical issues. To satisfy this assignment, each assigned study group will need to gain consensus on the final topic drawing from the topics each member researched individually which will then be used as the single topic for the group presentation. Group members must review each individual topic submitted as Paper C1 and C2 (the synopsis version should make this easier) and select a candidate topic which will be used as the group presentation. The ability to gain consensus to work as a group and collaborate is vital to the success of this assignment!
The presentation will be developed using MS Office PowerPoint and should include:
1 Title slide including names and paper title
1-2 Introductory slides providing an overview of the topic selected and rationale for selection
5-8 slides providing research results on emerging technologies and related issues
2 slides on summary/conclusion
1 – Reference slide
