One of my primary responsibilities is to help teach our students well enough that they pass three industry certification examinations. This module speaks to the importance of good "soft skills". While having the ability to pass exams and perform your job is obviously important, it may be equally or more important to have well developed soft skills. You are better able to serve your employer, or your customers with good soft skills.
This module also taught about "Hands-On" retention levels and the 10-20-30 rule of powerpoint presentations of which I'll be making a few changes.
Teaching methods should be to the point of what your are trying to teach, for example to much information in one slide if a pp presentation is used will be forgotten since is alot of information to process in your head and you will loose concentration. Rule 10-20-30 comes handy.
I learned to use teaching methods were the students use their senses and to use the 10-20-30 rule for my presentations.
Using teaching methods that use more than one of the their senses so they retain more of the information.
10-20-30! Use a variety of mediums to effectively reach all my learners.
Effective presentations are reflective in the instructor's use of varied mediums. Learning is transferable!
