UKeiG CPD Zoom Course: Interactive Tools for Presentations and Teaching

Course outline and learning outcomes

The course will up-skill experienced presenters and teachers, but also benefit junior colleagues who are keen to develop their online support service experience. It's relevant to anyone who delivers induction sessions and information skills workshops, or otherwise are keen to embrace interactive tools to improve their online communications with staff, students and work colleagues, or at conferences and events.

Topics covered include:

Delegates will explore a range of tool including:
• Menti (formerly Mentimeter): a surprisingly versatile quizzing tool. You can survey your audience, take questions, test their knowledge and canvas opinions - Menti can also be used to create entire presentations with basic slides
• Prezi Next: whilst Prezi itself isn't as directly interactive as the other tools here, its non-linear nature means you can run audience-led sessions that focus on the areas they're most interested in
• Google Slides: Google's own version of PowerPoint has one particular feature we'll be focusing on, known as Google Q&A. It allows the audience to ask questions via their keyboard at any time during your presentations, and tends to result in many more questions being asked even in face-to-face sessions
• Padlet: a sort of virtual noticeboard that can be used in variety of ways. We'll be looking especially at Padlet's potential for groups to collaborate at a distance. 

By the end of the training participants will have learned about a variety of interactive tools, tried them all out, and be able to make an informed choice as to when to use them in their online presentations, lectures, workshops, or orientation sessions.
