PDF beginner’s guide to speaking and presentation skills.

Oral Communication Toolkit - Student Resources

Strengths

The toolkit begins by providing a list of opportunities to use Oral Communications Skills in the classroom. Within this pdf, there is a clear table of contents that allows the user to jump to a specific section via hyperlink.

*Instructors may find the section on Assessing the Oral Presentation particularly useful, as it gives tips for developing assessment techniques and also shows some examples of rubrics that could be used to assess an oral presentation.

Concerns

This is a good, basic, beginner’s guide to oral presentation. It is not an exhaustive or comprehensive consideration. While this resource covers a wide range of basic OC skills and resources, the majority of links within the pdf are no longer active.

Recommendations for use

This toolkit might be particularly helpful to anyone who is considering incorporating an OC designation into a class. Instructors may want to just utilize the student resources below as handouts within the classroom to get ideas for activities and assignments.
