            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”.
            At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

            • 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.
