How can Star Wars help you to deliver a more engaging lecture? Unlike "The Force", storytelling is something you can readily harness to deliver a more engaging and structured student experience in your courses. In this workshop, Poon demystifies the idea of "storytelling", shares his story-centred process for designing engaging classes, as well as evidence that supports the success of this approach.
Eventually, he will stop talking, and facilitate a hands-on activity to guide attendees on implementing this storytelling framework in their own practice.
What to bring: Pen and paper, or your digital device of choice for taking notes during the hands-on activity.
