📌 By the end of this module, students should be able to:

Check and prepare essential equipment before presenting

Manage audio, visuals, and media playback smoothly

Stay calm and handle common technical glitches with simple solutions

Record and review their own presentations using basic tools

Create a personal “tech checklist” to feel confident and prepared

🎵 Try This: Before your next presentation, make a quick checklist of 3 things to test (e.g., projector, sound, Wi-Fi). Run through it as if you’re about to present.

❓ Reflection Question: What’s one technical issue that has affected you (or someone else) in a presentation — and how could you prevent it next time?

📌 Key Points:

Test your laptop, charger, and any necessary adapters before presenting

Always have a backup: USB copy, emailed file, or cloud storage link

Familiarise yourself with switching between slides, notes, and media smoothly

Check that audio, projector, or screen sharing works as expected

🎵 Try This: Run through your presentation once on the actual setup you’ll use. Note any glitches or awkward transitions.

💡 Final Tip: Arrive early to troubleshoot issues — a few minutes of prep can save a lot of stress.

❓ Reflection Question: Which part of your setup will you check first to avoid problems during your next presentation?

📌 Key Points:

Check microphone levels and know how to adjust volume

Ensure slides are visible from all parts of the room

Test any videos or audio clips with the venue’s sound system

Confirm that transitions between slides and media work smoothly

🎵 Try This: Practice a short section of your presentation with your microphone and visuals on. Notice if anything sounds too quiet or looks unclear.

💡 Final Tip: Always do a quick AV check before presenting — even small adjustments can improve audience experience.

❓ Reflection Question: Which part of your audio or visuals do you need to test first to ensure clarity for your audience?

📌 Key Points:

Stay calm if something goes wrong — technical issues happen to everyone

Always have a simple backup (printed slides, outline, or cloud copy)

Learn quick fixes: reconnect cables, mute/unmute, refresh slides

Practice flexibility — you may need to adjust on the spot

🎵 Try This: Rehearse presenting one slide deck without slides. Can you still communicate your main points clearly?

💡 Final Tip: Being prepared for glitches reduces stress and helps you stay confident.

❓ Reflection Question: What backup or quick-fix strategy will you use in your next presentation?

📌 Key Points:

Recording lets you review your delivery and identify areas for improvement

Tools: Canva, OBS or even Capcut on your phone can capture both audio and video

Check camera framing, lighting, and audio quality before recording

Recordings are useful for submitting online assessments or sharing with peers

🎵 Try This: Record yourself presenting for 2 minutes. Watch it back and note areas where clarity, pace, or confidence could improve.

💡 Final Tip: Treat each recording as a rehearsal — it’s a safe way to practice and refine your delivery.

❓ Reflection Question: How could reviewing a recorded presentation help you improve your next live delivery?

📌 Key Points:

Good tech support reduces stress and unexpected issues on the day of your presentation

Testing equipment and setup beforehand makes your delivery smoother and more confident

Being prepared demonstrates professionalism and respect for your audience

A tech checklist ensures nothing is forgotten

🎵 Try This: Create a “tech checklist” for your next presentation, including laptop, charger, microphone, slides, and backups.

💡 Final Tip: Preparation is your best defense — the more you check in advance, the more confident you’ll feel.

❓ Reflection Question: Which tech step will you focus on to make your next presentation run smoothly?
