To be effective, your teaching must incorporate as many of the senses as possible. At a minimum, this means both sight and hearing to reach 60% efficacy. Mediums and materials should be selected for their ability to engage students and its appropriateness to both the subject and the format of the course. For instance, online teaching may require more use of PowerPoints, web research of examples and models, and social media, while in-person classrooms allow more use of flipcharting and actual models or samples. Presentations should be formatted with consistent fonts, styles, and colors, with 3-5 points per slide, as changing the slide resets attention spans. All mediums must be clear, neat, and easy to read or view.
