Scientific presentations: Talks and Posters
Lecturing in the light of cognitive psychology
- Wieman on Cognitive Load: Cognitive load has important implications for both classroom teaching and technical talks. To maximize learning, instructors must minimize cognitive load by limiting the amount of material presented, having a clear organizational structure to the presentation, linking new material to ideas that the audience already knows, and avoiding unfamiliar technical terminology and interesting little digressions.
- Lecture dynamics vs. cognitive psychology
Designing talks
Giving talks
- Advice to beginning physics speakers
- What's wrong with those talks?
- Who is listening? What do they hear?
- Transforming physics education
