            Annotation

            Slides frequently serve as the foundation for lectures and lesson plans. Are we, as teache
            it means - and imply - to use this tool? Are we able to make use of it in a way that is tr
            to student learning? In this workshop we will together develop a constructive approach to 

            the specific context of academic teaching, taking into account what the so-called "Cogniti
            PowerPoint" means.


            Slides are one of the most common tools used into out lectures, that’s why within this wor
            focus our attention on:

            - the Pros and Cons of slides;
            - slides’ cognitive style;
            - alternatives to presentations and their “linearity”.


            Goals
            - Learn how to “balance” presentation usage.

            - Avoid slides overwhelming.
            - Be aware of the cognitive effects of your teaching choices to deliver content.
            - Control fragmentation of thought and cognitive overload.


            Learning and Teaching Methods
            - group work: analysis of examples

            - individual reflection on if and how to modify the use of presentations in academic teach
            - collaborative takeaways


            The course is designed for those with English language proficiency at B2 level or above.
