Terje Samuelsen, Ricardo Colomo‐Palacios, Ole Anders Danielsen · 2018

The development of oral competency is a must for all bachelor programmes. As a broad discipline in the field of computer science, the importance of presentation skills is also unquestionable. This paper describes an initiative where computer science students assembled in groups; define a themed software solution project. Throughout the initiative, students face a set of oral presentations aimed to develop their presentation skills. Authors describe how students face the project and the presentations and their evolution over-time. Suggestions for the limitations and potential of the strategy deployed and the tools designed to improve their skills are discussed.
