"The Use of Digital Videos, LMS, Peer and Self-feedback to Improve Presentation Skills" I was able to expand my knowledge and gain feedback from experts in my field. I was also able to make new contacts to support my research in the future.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
As expected the first two years were about gathering knowledge and trying out what was the best way to make and implement digital stories. I have been able to gain an understanding of what does and does not work in a digital story and have molded my technique for this. I have managed to gain a lot of data from my research so far and hope top publish this data in the next year. My study is going as expected and I am happy with the results to date.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This final year will involve making sure the quality of the digital stories improve. I now have a clear method for implementing digital stories that will help to reduce the anxiety of students who study abroad. I hope to further publish my finding about digital stories in the next year and will possibly attend an international conference to present my findings. This is of course dependent on the current COVID-19 situation.

| Causes of Carryover |
I was unable to use the final 16,184 as I did not need any goods around this price. I believe it would be better to include it into the budget for 2020 than waste it on something I do not need.
