About the webinar

At some point in your career, you may be required to give a presentation to a live audience. Whether your presentation includes visual slides such as PowerPoint or not, you might want to provide printed handouts to your audience.

In this presentation, I will discuss suggested “best practices” for handouts from presentation experts, then introduce a new approach to creating printed handouts that will engage the audience in your presentation and provide handouts that they will actually use.

We will be recording the webinar, so feel free to enjoy the presentation knowing that you can see the recording at a later date.

Intended Audience

Those who create and deliver presentations to live audiences and need to provide handouts

The content will be introductory (e.g., > “101 level”)

About the webinar

We’re all citizens of our country, state, and city. Beyond those borders, we are all digital citizens of the web. The posts, tweets, and other communications you create, the websites you visit, purchases you make online, and the security measures you use to secure it all together represent you as a digital citizen. Every user of the Internet leaves behind some type of a permanent presence or a digital footprint that cannot be undone. In some cases, you may not even be in control of the digital footprint the world sees.

This presentation will cover some of the basic, but critical responsibilities necessary to be an informed and responsible digital citizen so that you leave the digital footprint you want.

We will be recording the webinar, so feel free to enjoy the presentation knowing that you can see the recording at a later date.

Intended Audience

All Audiences. The content will be introductory (e.g., > “101 level”)

About the Speaker: Phil Havlik

Phil Havlik

Phil created from scratch, and manages the Learning Center for PolicyStat, a cloud based Policy Management Software as a Service (SaaS) company. His background includes over 16 years of classroom and online instruction and eLearning.

Phil’s greatest enjoyment comes from working with learners of all levels to help them learn and understand through whatever medium works for them. Nothing beats being a part of the “Aha!” moments when the dots finally connect for the learners and the plan comes together.

The Newsletter Q2 2017 IDeaL: Design for Learning

From the Editor

By Crista Mohammed

Hello, Readers! Super happy to be delivering our Q2 2017 newsletter. As you know, this is post-Summit. As with all successful conferences, attendees leave re-charged and rearing to go. This positive energy radiates in most of what you will read in this issue, as our contributors are eager to share their summit lessons and experiences.

But, before we get there I must share our good news: We are continuing to reap the rewards of our student outreach competition. In this issue, we share two student essays earning the judges’ nod.

  • Whitney Lewis, reading for a Master’s in Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences, explores the value of rapid prototyping in the instructional design process. Read Rapid Prototyping.
  • Viqui Dill, in her co-manager’s column, reflects on Summit 2017. She records the achievements of the IDL SIG over the past year and, waxing warm and grateful like only Viqui could, she thanks those who volunteer for the SIG. Read more.
  • Marcia Shannon uses her Secretary’s Column to share her Summit 2017 experience. She focusses on how the Summit is helping in her re-visioning of her career. Read More.

 

  • Jamye Sagan reviews eight summit sessions for us, touching on sessions ranging from how to complement written work with video to tips for professional success. Presenting cliff notes of topical sessions, Jamye gives us many great take aways: Useful to those who want to recall the session and particularly useful to those who could not be there. Read more.

 

  • Sylvia Miller presents a very careful account of a summit session on Responsive Design. Reviewing Dr. Lanier’s presentation, entitled ““How to Fix the Credibility Problem When Using Responsive Design”, Sylvia has extracted for us the characteristics of a credible website: Characteristics worth remembering as increasingly more content gets accessed from devices with vastly differing screen sizes. Read More.

 

  • Viqui Dill puts us in touch with what is happening. She reviews some sessions at the STC Philadelphia Metro Chapter Annual Regional Conference. Clearly, they had a blast while learning and sharing! Read more.

Finally, we salute and send out heartiest congratulations to:

  • IDL SIG colleagues who now serve on the STC Board. Read more.
  • The Chicago eLearning & Technology Showcase. It’s their 10th Anniversary. Read more.
