Persuasive Speech
This tool allows the students to upload a speech and get measurable feedback from their peers. The audience members will use a voting feature embedded into the video player to let the instructor and student speakers know how persuasive they were.
Concept
Core Curriculum Coordinator Jennifer Foster came up with Persuasive Speech for her course, Fundamentals of Speech. The goal was to recreate the in person experience of giving a speech and receiving tangible feedback in a virtual environment.
How It Works
Record and Upload a Speech
Students record themselves giving their speech. They then upload their video to YouTube to host the video. Next they enter their YouTube link into the Persuasive Speech tool, which will create a presenter page and an audience page.
View Other Students’ Audience Pages
Students visit their peers’ audience page which starts by telling them a topic and asking them to rate their initial opinion on the topic. The student watches the speech and then sees the same scale to give their final opinion on the topic.
View Your Presenter Page
Students then visit their own presenter page to see tangible data on how persuasive their peers found their speech. Data is created by comparing initial opinions and final opinions.
