Presenting online, a course in Spanish

Posted on by lindacq@um.es

In the middle of this semester I was fortunate enough to participate as a teacher in a course on how to make online presentations for university professors (only in Spanish).

The course had some sessions in which we were talking about the presentations of our colleagues and we tried to give some feedback on the “basics” of making presentations.

As basic resources, we used some slides from professor Francesc Llorens that I think are incredibly complete and great for thinking about visual presentations and that he lent me for the occasion, although you can find them online. They are just in Spanish, but with the translator, I’m sure you can use them easily.

In addition, to serve as course content, I made a few videos on basic issues that I thought were not covered by previous materials. The videos were private until two weeks ago, but then I decided that they were useless in storage and that they might be useful in the open, so I have been “releasing” them little by little and I have finally put them together in a single playlist with the 5 videos that I leave here in case they are of any interest (they are in Spanish, but the subtitles in English work pretty well).

I have long recorded videos on how to make oral and visual presentations, so you still have those materials, some of them in English.

I hope they will be useful…

ESSENCE Project – Multiplier Event

Posted on by lindacq@um.es

The ESSENCE project is coming to an end and after these 3 years of work and pandemic, we want to share with you what we have done and present you the results of this work.

The ESSENCE project (www.um.es/essenceeu) has tried during these years to find ways to help schools by trying to generate and structure learning assessment tools and strategies for students, which can be useful specifically for entrepreneurship-related competences. We wanted to help teachers to better face the difficult task of assessing these competences, which are increasingly included explicitly in our curriculum.

To do so, we have worked with organisations from 7 European countries, schools, teachers, experts in the development of competences related to entrepreneurship, experts in education and educational technology, to try to achieve all the objectives we have set ourselves.

And what have we done that can be useful to you? Well, that is precisely what we want to talk to you about and present the materials and experiences we have made. We are sure that some of them may be useful to you. We will also take the opportunity to present you a tool, respectful with the use of data, to assess with rubrics that is completely open and that, although it is currently designed with rubrics of sub-competences of the entrepreneurship competence, you can use it with the rubrics that you consider most appropriate.

In the Spanish speaking context, we have planned 2 identical one and a half-hour online events on two different days and at different times so that you can attend the one that suits you best (wherever you are in the world, here you can check the time of the event in your part of the world).

Tuesday, 13 July, from 10:00h to 11:30h (Spanish mainland time)
Thursday, 15 July, from 17:00h to 18:30h (Spanish Mainland Time)
