Public Speaking with Drama Techniques
Learning Outcomes:
LO1. Develop oral communication skills
LO2. Improve body expression
LO3. Master the art of using the vocal apparatus
LO4. Learn performance techniques
Compatibility with the Teaching Method:
The course combines theory and practice, providing students with an immersive experience in the world of public performances with theatrical techniques. The teaching method is interactive and participatory, encouraging students to put into practice the concepts learned through individual and group exercises.
The knowledge acquired involves both theatrical theory and specific oral communication techniques. Participants will learn about the fundamentals of vocal expression, character interpretation and improvisation, adapting these skills to the context of public presentations
S1 - Preparation for presentation (3 hours)
S2 - Non verbal communication (3 hours)
S3 - Introduction to using the vocal apparatus (3 hours)
S4 - Introduction to the term Performance (3 hours)
Modality of continuous assessment:
Practical Presentations (50%): Participants will be assessed based on their public presentations during the course. Criteria such as clarity of communication, vocal and body expression, use of theatrical techniques and performance will be considered. Presentations may be individual or group presentations, depending on the activities proposed.
Exercises and Written Assignments (50%): In addition to the practical presentations, participants may be asked to complete exercises and written assignments related to the content covered in each module. These may include reflections on learned techniques, analysis of case studies, answers to theoretical questions or even the creation of presentation scripts. These activities will help to assess participants' conceptual understanding.
To conclude the curricular unit in the modality of continuous assessment the student must be present in 75% of the classes.
Although not recommended, students may opt for final assessment by written and oral examination (100%).

S1. Solution space: ideation of the best technological solution relative to the project, development of user requirements, storyboarding, user/costumer journey, iterative prototyping cycles (low fidelity - lo-fi, high fidelity - hi-fi, minimum viable product - MVP), heuristic evaluation of the solution with experts and evaluation with end users.
S2. Production of solution design documentation, including, where applicable, architecture, technical specifications, hardware and software configuration, installation, operation and use manuals.
S3. Experimental deployment of the solution with the potential to be triple sustainable (with economic, social and environmental value creation), safeguarding the applicable legal framework.
S4. Audiovisual communication on the Web and social networks. Communication in public and its structure. Presentation to relevant actors.
C5. Demonstration in workshop with relevant actors in the field of digital health technologies.
UC in periodic assessment, not contemplating final exam, given the adoption of the project-based teaching method applied to real situations. Presentations, demonstrations and discussion are carried out in groups.
Evaluation weights:
R1. Solution Ideation Report, with Storyboard, User Journey, User Requirements, Technical Specifications and its audiovisual presentation: 20%.
R2. Solution Prototyping: Lo-fi and Hi-fi Prototypes and Minimum Viable Prototype - MVP (on GitHub), its Demonstration and Evaluation Report: 40%
R3. Solution Design Report with the following elements (if applicable): Architecture (UML Package Diagram, UML Component Diagram), Hardware and Software Configuration, Installation Manual (UML Deployment Diagram, Configuration Tutorial), Operation Manual, User Manual: 20%
