    • Explaining a design idea out loud to an audience

  2. Which digital tool is useful for presenting design ideas to a class?

    • A paper-based catalogue with handwritten notes only
    • Slides showing images, diagrams and key points
    • A printed list of costs for each material used

  3. What should a good design presentation do?

    • Focus on the presenter's favourite music, clothes and hobbies in the talk
    • Use as many difficult technical words as possible during the whole talk
    • Explain the problem, the solution and how the design was tested
    • Show only the final product and avoid explaining any of the reasons for it

  4. Why should a presenter speak to the audience rather than the screen?

    • To hide the slides from the people who are watching the whole presentation
    • To avoid answering any questions from the people in the room at the end
    • To make the presentation take as long as possible for the class to sit through
    • To keep the audience engaged and make the message clearer

  6. What is the best way to show how a product is used?

    • A single photograph of the product still sealed in its box on a shelf
    • A long list of the product's measurements and dimensions in a table
    • A written description with no pictures or images of the product at all
    • A short video or annotated images of the product in use

  7. Which is a benefit of including user feedback in a presentation?

    • It guarantees that the design will be sold at once to the whole audience
    • It proves the design will never need any further changes after it is made
    • It shows the design has been shaped by the people it is for
    • It removes the need to explain any of the design's features to the audience

  8. What should a presenter do when using a computer-based tool for a presentation?

    • Turn off the sound and keep the file hidden from the audience at all times
    • Check the tool works before the presentation begins
    • Leave the file on a different computer at home and hope for the best
    • Use an untested tool so the audience is surprised by the presentation

  9. Why might a designer present a digital 3-D model?

    • It shows the model can only ever be seen from one single angle at all
    • It replaces the need for any written specification for the whole design
    • It stops viewers asking questions about the design at all in the room
    • It lets viewers rotate and inspect the product from all sides

  10. What is a useful structure for an oral design presentation?

    • Product name first and the users never mentioned
    • Random ideas first, then the problem last
    • Problem, research, idea, testing, evaluation

    • A simple chart or table showing the costs of each part
    • A blank slide with only the word cost written on it
    • A long paragraph of numbers read out without any layout

  13. Why is it useful to rehearse an oral presentation?

    • To avoid having any feedback from others
    • To make the presentation longer than the allotted time
    • To memorise a script so no notes are ever needed
    • To check timing, clarity and how the message flows

  14. What is a digital portfolio?

    • A folder of paper drawings kept in a single drawer in the classroom
    • An online collection of design work that can be shared
    • A catalogue of shop products for sale to customers across the whole town
    • A list of the tools used in the workshop each week by the whole class

  15. Which tool helps a presenter show a product's movement?

    • An animated diagram showing the parts moving in sequence
    • A plain text note describing the product's colour and general finish
    • A static photograph of the product displayed in a shop window for sale
    • A printed list of each part's name together with the cost of each one

  16. Why should a presentation consider the audience's needs?

    • So the message is pitched at the right level and interest
    • So the audience has to buy the product on the spot straight after the talk
    • So the presenter can finish quickly and leave the room before questions
