- Overleaf (Online LaTeX)
- QuickLaTeX (prepare LaTeX equation images for inserting into PPT talks)
Cognitive mechanisms in learning and expertise
- 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. attention of audience
- Why do good thoughts block better ones?
Scientific presentations: Talks and Posters
