Instructor: Karina Kolb
Virtual 

Imagine you are giving the best presentation of your career. Your verbal delivery is captivating and masterfully choreographed with slide visuals and props that are attention grabbing, easy to understand, and even moving. This is what it means to use presentation visuals in a way that is “worthy of the TED stage.” In this course, participants will learn about the common mistakes presenters make with their presentation visuals, gain insights into the way the human brain best processes information while experiencing a presentation, leverage visual techniques for making your content resonate and stick, use next-level techniques to plan a visual presentation, analyze examples from some of the world’s best presenters, and apply key design principles. This course is helpful for both novice and even highly seasoned presenters.

The Center for Instructional Technology & Training (CITT) will be offering its Course Mapping Camp in person on December 7-8. Visit our Course Mapping Camp information page for more details and to register for this two-day workshop. The CITT’s course mapping camp is designed to help instructors build a pedagogically sound blueprint for any course.

Led by experienced instructional designers, the Course Mapping Camp starts with your students’ outcomes, looking to the syllabus or course description for course goals before brainstorming or refining specific and measurable student learning objectives. Next, you will group topics into broad themes to guide student learning and then select assessments, learning materials, and activities that support your outcomes. Throughout the course design process, camp instructors will provide guidance and feedback to ensure alignment between goals, objectives, and assessments and discuss approaches to scaffold student learning.

Please note that this workshop will be held in person. The workshop facilitators will email details about the schedule/attendance prior to the workshop start date.
