Award for Best Presentation

UWA Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning

Apple Inc. and the Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) at The University of Western Australia are offering prizes for the Best Presentation at Teaching and Learning Forum 2007. The Forum is designed to provide opportunities for dialogue about teaching and learning. This dialogue should happen both in formal sessions as well as during the breaks and social activities. The award for best presentation is offered to encourage presenters to engage participants in a dialogue during their presentation and to demonstrate good learning and teaching practice. There will be a prize for best paper presentation (iPod nano provided by Apple Inc.) and one for best workshop presentation (prize provided by CATL).

Each presentation will be evaluated by the Session Chair and three (3) participants randomly selected by the Chair. You may be asked to complete an evaluation form on more than one occasion. Forms will be provided in the rooms for each session and distributed by the Session Chair. If you are asked to evaluate presentations in the session, use one sheet for the full session which may have 2, 3 or 4 presentations.

The presentations will be rated on the three criteria listed on the sample form (below) with comments noted in the space provided. Raters should use the full range of the ratings scale to assist in differentiating excellent presentations. At the end of each presentation, the rater should add up the ratings and note the total score in the space provided, ensuring that the title of the presentation and the presenter(s) names are recorded.

Evaluation forms should be placed in the envelope provided in the room before the participants leave the session. If a rater needs to leave part way through a session, please pass the rating form to another participant remaining in the session. The evaluation forms are anonymous and will only be seen by the Best Presentation Award committee. The decision of the committee will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
