Description
My “presentation log report” practice repurposes presentation software to serve the function of the research report with the flexibility to transform a logbook into a final report. This practice is (1) accessible to students, (2) supports workforce skills, (3) models workflow stages, and (4) is resistant to Gen AI abuse. Using my Google Slides project template, students thoroughly log details of each project stage and then “collapse” this log into a final report. Presentation slides are ideal for structuring report sections and visual documentation of resources and data. Slides can be shared, supporting collaboration and peer review, and students can practice visual design skills to show the hierarchy of information—what’s more and less important—in their research writing. My template requires that students annotate their project resources with callouts, highlights, and captions, a process that encourages them to engage meta-cognitively with resources and is difficult to sidestep with current Gen AI tools.
