Presentation Time

At kNovasi 2025, we value exchanging ideas and knowledge through well-structured and timely presentations. Each presenter is allocated 15 minutes, including the presentation itself and a Q&A session. Presenters are required to remain at their tables at all times throughout the allotted session. Failure to comply may result in the forfeiture of any awards granted. Here's a detailed breakdown of the presentation time structure:

Presentation Breakdown

1. Introduction: Presenters should spend around 30 seconds introducing themselves, their affiliation, and their presentation topic.

2. Main Presentation: The core of the presentation, lasting approximately 4 minutes, should cover the statement of the problem, the teaching and learning innovation that emerged in response, the implementation of this innovation, the feedback and subsequent improvement efforts, and the overall impact. Presenters should ensure their content is clear, concise, and engaging, using visual aids like slides or videos where appropriate.

3. Conclusion: The final 30 seconds should summarise the innovation's key points and highlight any awards, recognition, copyrights, or patents associated with the innovation.

4. Q&A Session: Reserve around 10 minutes for questions and answers. Prepare to address judges’ questions, providing clarifications and additional insights as needed.

Time Tips

To help you make the most of your allocated time, consider the following tips:

1. Rehearse Your Presentation: Practice delivering your presentation several times to get a feel for the timing. This approach will help you stay within 5 minutes for the presentation and ensure a smooth flow.

2. Use Visual Aids Wisely: Visual aids can enhance understanding and engagement, but they should complement your spoken words, not overwhelm them. Ensure your slides are clear, relevant, and not overloaded with text.

3. Engage with the Jury: Maintain eye contact, use body language effectively, and invite interaction during your presentation. This approach keeps the jurors engaged and interested.

4. Be Concise: Focus on the most critical points of your innovation. Avoid unnecessary details and jargon that might confuse the jurors or take up valuable time.

Technical Support

We provide technical support to ensure your presentation runs smoothly. Please arrive at your designated table at least 15 minutes before your session starts to check your equipment/physical products (if any) and presentation file. Our technical staff will be on hand to assist with any setup requirements. For technical assistance, please call the number provided or visit the Information Counter.

Adherence to Schedule

Adhering to the allocated time slots is crucial to ensuring the competition runs smoothly and on schedule. Each presentation in a session will be monitored by a moderator, who will assist in keeping track of time. Please respect the time limits to allow fair and equal opportunities for all presenters.

Post-Presentation

After your presentation, we encourage you to remain at your designated table for the remainder of the session to engage in discussions with fellow presenters and participants. This approach also provides an excellent opportunity for networking and deeper exploration of the innovation presented.

We look forward to your insightful and engaging presentations, which will contribute to the success of kNovasi 2025. Thank you for your participation and dedication to advancing research and innovation in teaching and learning.
