Improving your virtual presentation skills


As educators, we are supposed to be the experts on helping others learn. Yet a surprising number of the presentations we deliver or attend (both virtual and F2F) are not as effective as they might be in engaging the attention of the participants. In this interactive presentation, I’ll share insights into how we can share information more effectively. This talk is based on numerous observations of webinars and draws on the work of presentation expert Garr Reynolds, author of Presentation Zen, and the work of brain scientist John Medina. We’ll look at four aspects of presenting: developing participant interaction, keeping the audience engaged, making more effective visuals, and a few technical production tips.
