Synchronous (Session) Teaching presentations: The good, the bad and the ugly more
Sun, Nov 7, 10:00-10:45 Asia/Seoul
In this panel, a group of instructors will discuss their ongoing experiences of delivering a presentation course to Korean undergraduate freshmen at the University of Ulsan. The course in question essentially covers 'Presentation Basics' and aims to equip students with universally applicable skills for making direct, effective and watchable presentations. During the session, we'll look at the positives we've encountered and the things that have gone well, along with sharing any areas we have struggled with or tips we have come up with for delivering a more effective course. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and ideas sharing, so come along with your own experiences (both positive and not so positive!) of teaching presentations, and add to the discussion on how best to teach this critical 21st century skill!

Synchronous (Session) Let the Games Begin: Bringing Gamification to the Conference and Classroom more
Wed, Nov 3, 19:00-19:45 Asia/Seoul
This year’s national conference has been gamified. The games being played are more than just a way to bring fun and delight to the conference. They are a way to get attendees more involved with our online conference, which will hopefully bring about more interactions with each other and contribute to participants feeling more connected despite being online and not collected in a traditional conference space. Additionally, the games serve the purpose of putting educators in their students’ shoes. One of the biggest things teachers seem to be looking for when it comes to their classes, whether its online or offline, are ways to engage students with the lessons learned in class. By playing through the games being put on by the conference you can experience fun new ways of learning and engaging with materials. You will learn about the games in play at the conference and you will also learn how to put together something for your own students using Discord, Flipgrid, and Google Workspace applications such as Forms, Sites, and Slides.
