Holding a good
presentation is hard!
Use Case and Motivation

How to get better at it?
• With practice
• Get feedback
• Learn from the feedback! Holding a good
presentation is hard!
Use Case and Motivation
LA for workplace learning
Capturing of feedback for reflective learning
Inspired by Quantified Self approaches
Mass lectures, virtual courses and conferences

Project meeting
10 participants used LIM
Discussion driven
Lecture at university
15 participants
Interactive session
Technical results very satisfactory
Acceptance results rather limited
Suitable for big audiences Presenter‘s role well defined
User Study
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 14
Main goals
Refine use case
Guide further development
In which scenarios and how can the quantification of feedback performed
by the LIM App support reflective learning?
Which features are more appreciated by users, both presenters and
audience members?
User Study
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 15
20 qualitative interviews
Willing to substitute traditional questionnaires for captured feedback
Anonymity appreciated (for feedback and questions)
Polls but Chat
Reflection needs time – preferred after the session
Online survey
1 month (May-June 2012)
120 participants
87 valid responses
Presenter 44,82% Audience
55,18%
User Study – Reaction to feedback
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 16
What do you consider realistic regarding
how you can react to the feedback (as presenter)?
User Study – Data collection
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 17
Data collected live and continuously is
better and more significant than only periodically collected data.
64,37 %
User Study – Information needed
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 18
Which information would the presenters
like to know about and which information
does the audience want to evaluate?
User Study – Characteristics of the LIM App
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 19
How participants evaluated the LIM App features
Conclusion
Readiness of presenters to learn retrospectively
Motivate students to use the application
Main concern is distraction
Applying Learning Analytics to informal workplace learning and
data gathered during the learning process
12.04.2013 © FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik 20
78,16 % found the idea behind
the LIM App very positive
57,47 % would like to test the
LIM App
Towards a second prototype
Usability improvements
Support for reflection after the presentation
From presenter to collaborative approach e.g. topics
Mock-ups to adapt the results to real features
