Presentation Technique 2: Blended Learning and Visual Communication

This course targets everyone that wants to specialize by focusing on blended leaning techniques in visual communication. Teachers that have given excellent courses for students on campus may experience to fail when they perform equivalent distance teaching through visual communication. The most obvious reasons for this are 1) the teacher has to act and operate in more complex technical environments, 2) the teachers most be conscious about the advantages and limitations of this medium, and, finally, 3) there is a need to use special techniques to activate and engage remote users, especially those with little experience on visual communication services.

The goal of the course will be to give the participants basic understandings on how to plan, deliver and perform distance educational programs that explore videoconferencing technologies.

The course requires that the participants have knowledge that is comparable to the course "Presentation technique 1 - Become familiar with videoconferencing".
