C. Strength and weaknesses of each tool.

Power point


Advantages:
  • Flexible.
  • Easy to modify.
  • Slides can't get lost.
  • Can be used in a large auditorium.
  • Can present complex computer graphics and animation.


Disadvantages:

  • PowerPoint presentations can encounter technical difficulties. When that happens you are stuck.
  • Difficulties in finding the right visuals can be encountered, if the presentation goes in an unplanned direction.
  • Requires electricity.
  • Requires a projector.
  • Requires a darkened room.
  • Only one visual at a time can be shown.
  • Can present complex computer graphics and animation. As a result we can become focused on the technology used to make the presentation, instead of the point of the presentation. The best presentations use simple graphics that highlight, and focus attention on the key points of the presentation, not on the method of presentation.
Bilingual video

Advantage:

  • Every participant gets a perfect view of the speaker – no struggling to see from the back of the room.
  • Audio is always crystal clear and the volume can be adjusted to taste.
  • Every participant has the freedom to view the content when and where they want to – no rushing to attend another presentation across town.
  • Every participant has the power to control the pace of the presentation – they can repeat a sentence or a whole chapter and pause it when the phone rings.
  • Different type of visitors can view the video as to follow the selected language

Disadvantage:

  • Sometimes it took long time and visitors getting bored.
  • The narration did not follow the visual shown.
  • Narration too fast and did not follow timeline.

Brochure

Advantage:

  • Visitors can bring home the sample of brochure

  • Visitors can read at home when they have limited time at site
  • Being used as research sample.
  • No need to rewrite explanation and information at site
Disadvantage:
  • Easily tear
  • The material will fade
  • People will throw after reading it.




Poster

Advantage:
  • The presentation order can be changed should it go in an unplanned direction.
  • Easy to modify.
  • Following a presentation the visuals can be posted on walls or bulletin boards to serve as an ongoing reminder of what was discussed.
  • Flexible - for example, visuals can be marked up during the presentation in response to questions.
  • No power is required. A projector is not required. The material can be presented essentially anywhere, under any conditions.
  • Multiple visuals can be shown at once (by sticking charts or other visuals on the walls, for example).
  • Presented in a lighted room in which you can see how your audience is responding, and in which the audience can easily take notes. This also helps stimulate a give and take interaction between the presenter and the audience.
  • Results in a presentation solely focused on the message, not on the method of presentation.
  • A Poster has additional uses such as for creating motivational posters, safety posters, meeting banners, signs and more. It's more than just a presentation tool. It's a powerful business tool!
Disadvantages:
  • Not suitable for huge auditoriums.

  • Can not present video or animation






C. Discussion

Problems arise:


Tourist could lost during self guided tour. This is due to no information booth available at the tourist belt or at the Harmony Street. When ever tourists walk around the area, they could not get the information needed. Sometimes they need to ask few questions that are not included inside the brochure or site interpretation.

Solution recommendation:


Should have information booth at the tourist spot as to help them giving information needed.

Other issue also being discuss on how the interpretation tool help each organization to promote their cultural heritage site or product.
