Presenting Your Work Online

By the end of this two-part workshop you will:

• understand the similarities and differences between in person and online presenting
• be more confident about presenting online

In times of increased remote communication, traditional worries such as projecting your voice and using body language have to be reassessed, and integrated with the technological environment in which we find ourselves. Additionally, we need to become proficient in new skills, such as:

• How to speak when using a microphone.
• Where to look?
• How to design and use visuals for maximum effect 
• Interacting with your "desktop audience"

In the first session, we will discuss and try out the essential skills for presenting your work online.

The group will reconvene after an interval of two weeks. In this second meeting, participants will put into practice the principles discussed in the first.

This workshop will give you an opportunity to practise the skills necessary for presenting online in a safe environment, and to engage in feedback conversations with peers (both giving and receiving feedback) and communication specialists.
