Create professional lecture material
Documentation from Lunch 'n' Learn 9 April 2024
A well-designed and structured presentation affects the audience's/viewer's cognitive ability to process the information, according to Richard E. Mayer, educational psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Visual communication and the use of visual materials are also a kind of shortcut to deep learning. How can you utilize these principles when designing your lecture material? That's what this webinar is about.
