Description
According to cognitive scientist, Dr. Joe Kim, the single more effective way to enhance student learning is to fix your slides. In this workshop participants will learn how to design effective and engaging slide presentations based on cognitive theories and multimedia learning principles. Prior to the workshop, registrants will be asked to submit one of their own slide presentations to work on during this hands-on session.
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify principles of effective slide design
- Apply those principles to their own slides
