HCA 543 Project, Guidelines and Grading Criteria

Guidelines:

Purpose: The objective of this assignment is to allow the student an opportunity to learn a more challenging yet effective way to present materials, providing a more engaging platform for communication and retention of quality practices in healthcare organizations.

PechaKucha’s 20×20 presentation format shows your 20 chosen images, each for 20 seconds. In other words, you’ve got 400 seconds to tell your story, with visuals guiding the way. PechaKucha means “chit chat” in Japanese. This creative outlet began as nighttime get-togethers in Tokyo in 2003 by two renowned architects. Since then, three million people have attended PechaKucha events worldwide. https://www.pechakucha.com/
