The Rhetorical Triangle and Online Presentations
Based on your earlier analysis of video presentations and the Rhetorical Triangle, write a 3-4 paragraph opinion essay answering the following question:
How is the Rhetorical Triangle (audience, speaker and situation) affected when the location of the presentation is online?
For example, consider the following questions:
• How can the speaker create a connection with an online audience (especially if the speaker cannot be seen)?
• How are audience reactions and distractions different in an online presentation?
• Situation also includes the topic as well as the location. How does the online location affect the choice and effectiveness of the topic?
