Presenting Online (December 1, 2020)
Presenting online is a workshop designed to help graduate students increase the impact of their presentations, particularly in online environments. The workshop is designed to cover the basics of everything from optimizing set-up and transforming visuals to honing content, developing effective engagement strategies and increasing the effectiveness of your voice and body language. Issues specific to both short (less than 8 minute) and long (longer than 20 minute) formats will be addressed. Will be followed by a 30 minute Q&A where participants are encouraged to ask specific questions about their research and try implementing strategies from the first hour.
