Does the idea of speaking at a conference send a chill down your spine? Do you feel like a “deer in the headlights” when asked a question? Do you find it challenging to introduce yourself to fellow researchers or prospective collaborators? This three-part series aims to help participants to polish and perfect their virtual presentations, build their self-confidence for Q&A sessions and develop the skills needed to overcome stage fright once and for all.

Part 1. Polishing your Virtual Goldschmidt Presentation: In advance of presentation submission, participants can download instructional material containing tips and advice on the preparation of their virtual presentations, focusing on presenting work clearly and concisely to engage the audience and invite further discussion particularly during Q&A sessions.

Part 2. Confidence in Q&A sessions: At the beginning of the virtual conference, participants are invited to join an one of our small group interactive online seminars where they will learn how to answer questions effectively in an online setting, receive tips for interacting in the virtual environment, build their confidence for their Q&A sessions, and discuss their experiences and concerns. These event will be run on Sunday 21st.

Part 3. Overcoming Fear in Public-Speaking and Networking: The third part of this workshop series aims to help participants face their fears that prevent effective communication and networking in both virtual and real-life encounters. Participants will receive access to an instructional video which they can view in their own time including theoretical and practical methods as well as long term solutions to overcome fear and nervousness. Techniques will be discussed during a Q&A session during a lunchtime seminar, with the option of participating in practical exercises. This event will be run on Wednesday 24th and will be recorded for participants who cannot make the lunchtime seminar. Sign up on the Wednesday event for this part.

Student Engagement in Higher Education

Contacts: Laurent Valentin
Location: Room 3, Goldschmidt2020 - Virtual Venue View on map
Price: US$0

Student engagement (SE) is what a student brings to Higher Education in terms of goals, aspirations and values and how these are shaped by their experience as students. These include 1) Expressing individual opinions and ideas, 2) Taking an active role in academic life, 3) Collaborating with staff and students in decision-making over both the process and outcome. There are many different examples of students and staff working in partnership to co-create learning and teaching experiences. These initiatives include examples of students as co-researchers, students as change agents, students as consultants and students as co-creators of curricula. This workshop is designed to provide guidance and strategies for students and academic staff wishing to initiate, sustain or extend student-staff partnerships. The aims of the workshop are threefold, i) explore the ways in which students act as partners in learning and teaching, ii) identify strategic and sustainable practices of engaging students as partners, iii) discuss the risks and challenges inherent to partnership and find suggestions for addressing them.
