Overview

Today’s learners crave interaction and participation in the learning experience. Their immersion in, and familiarity with, the latest communication technologies means educators must integrate such technologies into the course materials seamlessly.

“Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theatre.”
…Gail Goldwin

Although many believe mastery of course content defines excellent teaching, the most successful educators realize the delivery of course content is equally important. They have found ways to make course content more relevant, interesting and engaging. Learners benefit from increased retention, deeper understanding and innovative applications.

Educationist’s Presentation is designed with these objectives in mind. This 1-day workshop gives all educators a step-by-step process to design, develop and deliver content-rich and highly engaging lectures. It shows them how to translate their expertise into excellent learning experiences for their learners.
