Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) highlights the need for engineers to be equipped with multidisciplinary and interpersonal skills to stay competitive in the global workplace. In line with this, various technologies have been adopted in teaching oral presentation skills including audio and video, social media platforms, websites and other internet communication technologies. This concept paper explores the effectiveness of using Flipgrid, an online video-mediated communication tool, for teaching oral presentation skills to engineering students. Using embedded mixed-method research design, students record and practice oral presentation skills and experience peer feedback in Flipgrid platform. The ways in which Flipgrid help students practice oral presentation skills and the integration of peer feedback will be explained to provide guidelines for using Flipgrid for future oral presentation courses.
