Estimated Student Response
BIRD
Research indicates that ideas are much more likely to be remembered if they are presented as pictures instead of words or pictures paired with words.
BIRD
10% 65%
Verbal: people remember about 10% of the content 72 hours later, if you add a picture that figure goes up to 65%
5GB 1,000 songs
iPod in 2001came with a 5GB of memory1,000 songs “in your pocket.”more interesting and meaningful

Audience needs
• Relevance: what’s in it for me• Good structure• Visually appealing• Engaging
21
Engaging the audience
• A good presentation:–Change from passive to active–From shallow to deep listening–To keep them engaged–To get feedback–To test understanding
22
Listening Modes
• Deep Listeners– Reflect on the material– Critically analyse– Have many questions
• Surface or Shallow Listeners– Less motivated– Passive– Don’t ask questions
23
Focus
• Too much focus on the visual
• Not enough focus on the audience
• Think about what they do
• Make it a two way street

When to use Powerpoint?
• What’s the idea• What should they remember• Different cognitive levels• To what extent we can address
complexity with Powerpoint?

IncreasingCognitive Level
27
Expressing Objectives
• Each Bloom level has associated keywords:
I. KNOWLEDGE (testing recall and recognition) describe which one enumerate define what is the best one match choose recall select how much cite II. COMPREHENSION (simple translating, interpreting) classify is this the same as give an example infer show discuss identify select indicate explain translate read the graph, table
28
Expressing Objectives
• Each level has associated keywords:III. APPLICATION (to situations that are unfamiliar or have a new aspect) illustrate explain apply identify the results of judge the effects select what would result solve IV. ANALYSIS (breaking down into parts, forms) distinguish interpret test scrutinise analise examine make a distinction demonstrate what's the relationship experiment differentiate investigate
29
Expressing Objectives
• Each level has associated keywords:
V. SYNTHESIS (combining elements into new patterns) compose hypothesise propose design predict formulate invent develop
state a rule create VI. EVALUATION (according to criteria, and stating why) judge assess recommend evaluate determine measure defend find the errors
30
Knowledge
Recall: select all the true answers
The Westminster system:
a) Is based on the UK system
b) It involves an elected President
c) Includes a senator as the Prime Minister
d) It consists of two distinct powers
31
Comprehension
Predict: What is most likely to happen to the reliability of a multiple-choice test, where the number of alternatives is changed from three to four?
a) It will decrease
b) It will increase
c) It will stay the same
d) There is no basis for making a prediction
32
Application
Correctly apply rules
Number plates may have six characters (Upper A-Z, 0-9, spaces ). Which of the following are legal?
a) ANZ123b) Anz123c) ANZ12d) ANZ12
33
Analysis
Analyse some problems
How many different plates can you make starting with
ANZ1
34
Higher Objectives
• To test higher cognitive levels we need:
– Abstraction, Analysis, Discovery, Hypothesising
– Rather than simply remembering facts
information
• With MCQ, MAQ & short text questions it is
difficult to address the higher levels
Conclusion
What do you think the conclusion of today’s discussion should be? Give us:
• One sentence• One concept• One thing to remember• One mistake not to make
