We are increasingly moving our presentations online, but we have had little training in tools and strategies for making our presentations accessible and interesting for different audiences. This workshop introduces some approaches and methods for improving online presentations.

The workshop is given by Saul Albert, a lecturer in social sciences at Loughborough University.
