The Rise of the Conversational Presenting

•

0 likes•505 views

For decades, lecture halls have been dominated by one-way presentations. But in today’s world of smartphones and unprecedented access to information, passive content broadcasts will most likely fall flat. The future? Conversational presenting. According to a number of studies, our brains respond powerfully to two-way dialogues. Once involved in a meaningful conversation, students feel empowered, engaged and apt to absorb new information. This presentation will explore the tactics, backed by science and case studies, to create conversational presentations with a help of interaction technology and strategic facilitation.

Presentation at the ALDinHE conference, Friday 10th June 2022 [online] At the institutional level, McDougall et al (2018) argue that human-centred approaches, prioritising staff and students’ immediate and lifelong wellbeing, are key to success in developing policies for student wellbeing, rather than the mere use of digital tools. With digital wellbeing taking on new dimensions, it is timely to consider how technostress impacts our students. This presentation reports on the results of a digital health and wellbeing survey (n=103), analysed in R and encompassing the surprising responses from 80 students to the survey question about technostress. Comments indicate students feel let down by teaching staff who struggle with the mediating tools of their online trade, technology, and show little empathy for those they teach. The presentation focuses on the issues identified by students and shares their suggested solutions. Our findings indicate that the formulaic approaches offered by [academic] staff to students to ‘go there to be fixed’ will chime with learning developers championing student support as emancipatory practice. Our conclusions recommend an integrated model for framing student wellbeing as a strategic priority underpinned with exceptional learning design that balances the digital and physical with careful consideration of the standardisation/personalisation continuum for the use of technological tools. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own experience of technostress, and to contribute to a future multi-institutional survey to widen our understanding of this phenomenon and how learning design can play a part in its reduction.

Turn Your Google Slides into Two-Way Conversation - SXSW EDU 2019

Juraj Pal

For decades, classrooms have been dominated by one-way presentations. But in today’s world of unprecedented access to information, passive content broadcasts will most likely fall flat. By ditching traditional linear slides, conversational presenting allows you to focus on the most burning areas and maximize the learning for your class. During the session, you’ll learn how to use Slido to turn your Google Slides presentation into two-way conversation with your students at the center of it.

Presented by Malcolm Litten at the BDA International Conference, March 2014 Despite the existence of a variety of tools designed to assist individuals who experience difficulties in reading and writing, research reveals that only a minority of schools actually employ them with their pupils. Even where there exist good quality freeware tools, few schools have a policy of systematically making these available on their network. Research has demonstrated the positive value of such assistive technology and a recent change in exam access arrangements at GCSE argues that its use to assist print-impaired candidates read text is acceptable as proof of independent reading. This paper describes the present failure to enable dyslexic pupils to engage independently in their education and explores the factors that prevented even the best-intentioned schools from offering their pupils the chance to use text-to-speech in the 2013 English GCSE exams.

In this session, we'll challenge the notion that study abroad is an elitist luxury. We'll focus on how it supplies students with competitive global employability. Through a series of interactive methods, study abroad professionals will reflect on the career-enhancing opportunities available in overseas programs and take away effective strategies to help students identify opportunities abroad that meet their professional goals, maximize their experience, and capitalize on new networks and critical skills that help to create an edge as employable candidates in the job market.

Improving Retention in Online Courses -- Inside HigherEd webinar

Patrick Lowenthal

Improving Student Retention in Online Learning Tuesday, June 10, 2014 11:00:00 AM MDT - 12:00:00 PM MDT Online learning continues to grow and make up a larger percentage of enrollments in higher education. However, over the years, institutions often report higher attrition rates for online courses than traditional face-to-face courses. As enrollments in online courses increase and online learning becomes a larger part of institutions' long-term planning, faculty and administrators are confronted with finding ways to improve retention in online courses and online programs. In this free webinar, presented by Academic Partnerships, the literature on attrition in online learning will be discussed as well as various strategies used to improve student retention in online learning.
