I’m back in York for another two-day project meeting (different project this time). Yesterday we had to sit through a presentation from each project at the meeting. All 28 of them. Fair enough, each had only 5 minutes and one PowerPoint slide, but three-and-a-half hours later I was dreaming of having hot knives shoved under my fingernails to end the tedium.
Why is it that in a profession that espouses active, experiental and engaging learning, we still have conferences and meetings full of exposition with text-laden PowerPoint? There’s got to be another way, I’m just not sure what it is…
Terry Mayes blogged in a similar vein about the ASCILITE conference (see that final paragraph of the post).
