糖心vlog传媒is launching a new course for future teachers and any students interested in honing their presentation skills.
Education 101 is being offered this fall at 糖心vlog传媒through digital delivery.
The course explores interpersonal skills to support problem solving, and developing the proficiencies to work with children and adults in one-on-one and group settings.
鈥淭he course is an introductory communication course for students entering the education stream for elementary and high school,鈥� said instructor Jeff Lawrence. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also a transferable course to VIU.鈥�
Education 101 will benefit not only students pursuing education, but for students in other fields and programs.
鈥淭he business courses in particular, they do a lot of presentations and group work,鈥� said Lawrence. 鈥淭his course allows them to improve those presentation skills and get better feedback from peers.鈥�
This year, students will follow the course virtually through an online video platform. Taking the course online will also allow students to slow down the learning process with two weekly class meetings and completing three speeches, noted Lawrence.
鈥淲e will be using Kaltura capture,鈥� said Lawrence. 鈥淪tudents will be recording themselves and doing light editing. We will then send the presentations around the class to be peer reviewed.鈥�
The course allows students to expand their confidence through public speaking and creates a good foundation for any career path.
鈥淚 love teaching it because I love seeing the students get more confident in this kind of thing over the semester,鈥� said Lawrence. 鈥淎t first, they might be a little bit wary in the beginning, but it鈥檚 great seeing them gain confidence over the course.鈥�
Interested students can register in Education 101 until September 17.
