Engaging Adults as Visual Practitioners

Do you know how adults REALLY learn? Get the principles of adult learning and engagement from an instructional designer and graphic facilitator! Knowing how adults bring in new ideas and process information will take your graphic facilitation AND your graphic recording from good to great!

As visual practitioners, we work with adults in many ways: facilitating groups; teaching classes; participating in office events; coaching individuals; graphic recording conferences; even speaking at conferences! Something all of these have in common is the need to engage and collaborate to be as efficient and effective as possible. Adult learning strategies have wide application in all these areas.

This webinar will provide tips for increasing audience engagement, which improves understanding and recall of the information being presented. This webinar is for anyone working with adults, especially facilitators who want to improve their audience engagement. There will be new “tools for your toolbox” for ways you can use your visuals to enhance the session.

Topics we will discuss:

• Learning retention rates
• Know your audience - who are you talking to?
• Learning styles
• Assessing audience engagement
• Tools and techniques
