Using Active Learning Techniques to Engage Audiences in Oral Presentations

<p>In this chapter, we provide an outline for a workshop in which participants learn about active learning techniques and how to use the BOPPPS (Bridge, Objective, Pre-assessment, Participatory learning, Post-assessment, Summary) model to structure presentations and engage their audiences. Participants in this workshop develop a short presentation on a topic of interest. They complete an outline of their presentation using a BOPPPS template. Later, they deliver the presentation to their fellow participants and receive feedback from their peers on whether the presentation was comprehensive, actively engaging, and inclusive of all participants.</p> <p> </p>
