Think of the last time you sat in a presentation. Did you find yourself nodding off or were you engaged? Days later, could you recall the primary elements or just a blur of bullet points? As Information Professionals there are many opportunities to meet learning needs, but often we lack the communication skills necessary to deliver them. This session will offer techniques for structuring your talks for the key message, the venue, and most importantly, the audience. Whether you are teaching new students how to use electronic resources or pitching an idea to your supervisor, your attendance ensures a more confident, relaxed approach to delivering presentations and public speaking.
After this session attendees should be able to:
1. Apply the broad, systemic ADDIE method of Instructional Design (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) to any informational or motivational talk
2. Implement the latest trends in presentation methods after analyzing techniques from modern communications thought-leaders
3. Connect with audience members so that they retain not only the primary message, but see results from your objectives
Chances are, all of us at some point must write and deliver a speech, be it a keynote address, a fundraising speech, or a banquet toast. For some it’s intimidating, and for others a piece of cake. But rarely is it systematic.
In this webinar, you’ll learn the key elements of a successful speech – why some hold your attention and others put you to sleep.

- A speech structure that works for any type of speech
- A writing process that will take you from idea to finished product
- Delivery techniques to help you shine your brightest in front of your audience
These slides provide some helpful techniques and guidelines for delivering an informative speech. This is perhaps the most use type of speech for career professionals.
However great a vision we might have, it is worth very little if we cannot effectively communicate it to others. Taking the time and trouble to share your vision and your values, allowing discussion of big ideas, and giving people an opportunity to adopt the vision as if it were their own are all essential qualities of good leadership.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

24. good topic
=
one that matters to you
IMPORTANCE TO THE SPEAKER
If you do not care about the subject, it will be very hard to
make it interesting or important to the audience. If you care
about it, it will be relatively easy.

- reports stories or experiences similar to their own.
28. good topic

covered superficially. Likewise, too narrow topics only
deserve a short amount of time. A good speech will find a
way to engage both the breadth and depth of a topic.
30. good topic
=
one that is suited for oral delivery
33. What is our general purpose?

perspective

they don’t know, about a topic they’re already familiar with.

be accustomed to thinking about a topic.

Cause people to think about a topic that they previously
knew little about or ignored.

Reduce the intensity of listeners’ commitment to a belief, not
necessarily to change their minds, but to instill a sense of
doubt.
39. Conversion
Persuade listeners to change their minds – to stop believing
one thing and to start believing another.
The replacement of one set of beliefs with another set that is
inconsistent with the first.
40. Inducing a specific action
The most pragmatic goal: persuade people to take a specific
action.
e.g. to make a contribution, to purchase a product, to vote
for a specific candidate, etc.
The speaker does not have to care whether listeners have
the same reasons for acting, only that they act.
