Abstract:
Pecha Kucha, pronounced, “peh-chak-cha” is a PowerPoint presentation format where the presenter shows twenty slides for a period of twenty seconds each for a total of six minutes and forty seconds. The term pecha-kucha originated in Japan and refers to the sound of conversation or chit-chat. Using Pecha Kucha, presenters are forced to develop a thorough understanding of their material so they can get to the point in a limited amount of time. Pecha Kucha presentations are typically heavily laden with graphics rather than text. This presentation format makes it difficult to go into significant detail on the topic, however, when combined with discussion afterwards it can work well. Session will demonstrate use of the Pecha Kucha presentation format, discuss how it is being used on her campus and provide resources and additional information. Participants will be asked to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of faculty/student use of Pecha Kucha.
