Do’s and Don’ts For Conference Presenters

Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts

Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts

I am going to be at the 31st Annual Conference on Distance Teaching & Learning (11th – 13th August, 2015) this year. DEPD Director Les Howles has some great tips for presenters, highlighting do’s and don’ts. This is based upon feedback from conference attendees, and is well worth watching and reading.

The handout has 10 things that a successful presenter should do, and 10 things a successful presenter should not do. Ultimately, your presentation should should provide lots of practical tips and advice. You also want to share “plenty of relevant real-world examples and lessons learned

Les also shares my bugbear. I hate it when I encounter  “session descriptions that don’t match the content presented.”

If you have not done so already, you can register for the conference here:
