Summary report of presentation

 

 

 

The presentation done by: Mansoor AL Blooshi

ID number:  H0083865

Venue:  F11/ ADMC

Date:  19/11/2012

Time: 15:00

The Topic: Trip to Istanbul

 

 

Mansoor introduce his topic in a good way and it was interesting. His eye contact with the audience was very good during the presentation and attracted the attention of the audience.

 

He stood at the side not in front of the screen and he did not use any note cards. He read sometimes from the screen. He spoke in a clear and loud voice all the time and he seemed organized and prepared, he smile but did not look confident.

 

His power point presentation slides background was good and organized to keep the audience listening with good selected photos for the places he visited.

 

In my opinion I think he has good information about the topic and all the audience was attentive because he included his own photo in the slides. I noticed that he advised us to visit Istanbul in the begging and at the end of his presentation and because of that I plan to visit Istanbul in my next vacation and I’m sure that many of the audience will do the same. In general his presentation was very good but he needs to be more confident in front of the audience.

2:30 p.m., to 2:240p.m.           Introduction

I would like to introduce the group names & their titles. My name is Omar Al Shehhi as Chairman, Mr. Khaled Al Menhali as Secretary, Mr. Omar Abdul Naser, Mr. Mansoor Noor and Mr. Ali Al Hammadi as participants.

The subject to be discussed in the meeting below is the reason why the population doesn’t like to stay out of the city center:-

1.      Most Government departments & others are in the city center.

2.      Shortage of public transportation outside city.

3.      Shortage of malls, parks, colleges etc outside city.

4.      Infrastructure outside the city.

5.      Suggestions to motivate people to move outside the city.

 

1.      Most Government departments & others are in the city center.

It has been noted that most government departments in Abu Dhabi are located in the city center; in addition working time for the employees is similar; this timing situation leads to congested traffic on the road.

We suggest either changing the time or moving some of these departments outside the city center.   

2.      Shortage of public transportation outside the city.

We found, after experiments done by the department of transportation, the public prefer using their own cars.

 Mr. Omar Abdul Naser suggested to avoid these issues to start with government departments inside the city to force their employees to use public transportation at the beginning then to implement for other private & semi-government departments which he thinks may work smoothly.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

3.      Shortage of malls, parks, colleges etc outside the city.

Mr. Mansoor Noor strongly agreed with this point since he is staying outside Abu Dhabi city & notices that we need more focus on the above requirements.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

4.      Infrastructure outside the city.

Mr. Ali Al Hammadi disagreed with this point by noticing most of the outside cities are fully completed cities.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

5.      Suggestions to motivate people to move outside the city.

Mr. Khaled Al Menhali suggested:-

·         Move some  government departments outside the city.

·         Force, by adding new laws, large & medium departments to build offices next door to resident buildings.

Mr. Omar Al Shehhi suggested:-

·         Abu Dhabi needs a metro like Dubai which will reduce a lot of traffic.

·         Stop issuing new driving licenses & more control by Ministry of Interior with proper channels.

Cooperation

Cooperation or co-operation is the process of working or acting together. In its simplest form it involves things working in harmony, while in its more complicated forms, it can involve something as complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the social patterns of a nation. It is the opposite of working separately in competition. Cooperation can also be accomplished by computers, which can handle shared resources simultaneously, while sharing processor time.

Distance education

Distance education or distance learning is a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom. It has been described as "a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both."] Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason (including taking examinations) have been referred to as hybrid courses of study.
