Crafting Slidedocs
- Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
- Access the Duarte resources that are available through the hyperlinks provided in the prior Background Information. Obtain a good understanding of Slidedocs, to include their purpose, the various design options, and the protocols for designing and developing a quality data story.
- Locate and download a current Wall Street Journal article that reports on a current business situation. The story should include both qualitative and quantitative data that will lend itself to this activity.
- Framework: Frame your content in ways that demonstrate a scholar-practitioner approach.(PDF document)
- Create a Slidedoc presentation that shares the data story of the business scenario from the Wall Street Journal article.
- Include 5 to 8 slides that have a good blend of both narrative and quality graphics that are mostly original to you. A title slide and a References slide are required in addition to content slides.
- Be creative. Experiment. Include sources, links, pictures, figures, tables, and more along with your narrative to provide an evidence-based approach.
- Format with a good balance of narrative, graphic illustration, and white space.
- Edit to ensure the correct use of grammar, mechanics, and APA, as applicable. Cite all graphic material (e.g. tables, figures, pictures) using APA formatting.
- Submit the Slidedoc presentation by the end of Week Five. Also upload the Wall Street Journal article that is foundational to the Slidedoc.
