Research Week

Presentat ation ion Vid ideos

This year will be a bit different from previous Mountain Lion Research Days as we are going virtual! This means the typical poster session will change as well. Instead of standing at a printed poster and discussing your work, you will instead be creating a dynamic and engaging video presentation of your work that will be uploaded to the Mountain Lion Research Week (MLRW) Canvas Course! Here, attendees will be able to post comments and ask questions directly in Canvas and you can reply to them there as well. Much like with a typical poster or paper presentation, you will introduce the background of your topic, your methods, results and end with a discussion of your findings and future implications. We have put together several resources below to help you create the best possible virtual presentation of your work! First, here are some basic guidelines for your presentation:

• 1. The video you create will be 5-8 m

minute tes (being concise is a skill and will help keep your audience interested!)

• 2. You will need capti

tions and/or a transcript of your audio on your video (Panopto is able to do this automatically).

• 3. You will upload your video to the Canvas course shell under the ap
