At the
Internountain Institute for Health Care Delivery
Research (IHCDR), we routinely used virtual
lectures and presentations across more than 3 decades. For example, some
faculty in the Intermountain Advanced Training
Program (ATP), unable to travel to Salt Lake
City, Utah, to teach, would present by video.
I gave talks to small and large groups
around the world using two-way interactive video
(TWIV). We found methods that can make
video presentations more effective and
entertaining, such as using a parallel screen
for slides, adding movement by
switching at appropriate points between the
'talking head' and full screen displays of
slides, and having on-site facilitators help
with audience interactions. Even when done well,
however, virtual
presentation could achieve only about 70 to 80
percent effectiveness compared to an
in-person presentation.
Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Everything
shifted to virtual.
Under Zoom, presentation effectiveness fell even
further. When asked to speak, I began
recommending to my hosts that I instead prepare
a packaged video presentation with integrated
slides. The key factor was very high production
value. This approach also left the sponsors
with an enduring product they could use later.
I built a small studio in my home learned Adobe
Premier Pro. It typically took me about 2 days
to prepare, record, and produce a 1-hour talk,
but the video output was much, much better. At
the time of the talk, we would run the video
over Zoom; then I would participate in an
interactive Zoom-based Q&A session. I estimate
this approach was in the 80 to 90 percent
effectiveness range, compared to being present
in person. It was certainly better than 'live' Zoom
presentations.
I've attached 3 examples here,
both as a demonstration of the approach and to
give some sense of my speaking and teaching
style. Even better, the topics of the
talks may prove of interest! |
