Audience Involvement
How to get People Involved in your Presentation
Introduction
Involving your audience will make your presentation.
Participants may see your presentation as dull if you
don't involve them. Your role is to facilitate learning -
not to preach, teach or lecture. You can involve people
by appealing to their senses, and by using style, content
and group interaction. This can grab your a u d i e n c e ' s
attention and get your message across.
Read on to find out what and how to d o i t
Why involve an andience?
You can:
* share the success of your presentation with your
audience
* grab your audience's attention
* help participants get involved with one another
* make participants feel more committed to learning
because they feel included
* help individuals learn more when they're actively
involved in their learning
* add variety and liveliness to your presentation
* stimulate personal growth and discovery for
participants
* use the wealth of knowledge of the entire group
The presenter's role
the presenter creates a learning environment
that encourages and enhances learning. It's up
to you to design a presentation that achieves this
objective within an atmosphere in which
participants feel safe to respond and interact.
Once you've set the stage, the audience will
respond by becoming involved, even if they are
only listening.

How to involve the audience
There are three main ways to involve your audience:
through your interaction with them, your presentation
style and the content of your message.
Your interaction with them
Be careful to interact with the group and not the
subject matter. Watch that you talk to them and not
to your material ( notes, overheads and chalkboards). Let
your audience know that you a re there to lead and guide
them and not to play the ' know- it- all'. You are there to
plant the seeds of growth which they will experience.
Sometimes learning is really relearning.
Get involved with your audience and get them
involved with one another by using a variety of learning
methods. Your message will be more effective if you use
more than one technique.
Here are some techniques with possible applications:
* presentation techniques - short lectures, displays,
demonstrations
* audience participation activities - question and answer
period, buzz groups, audience role playing,
games, case studies, structured experiences
* group discussion activities - case discussions
( analysing a given case or situation), group
centred discussions where the group is asked to
offer examples
* skill- practice activities - an example is; if participants
want to become better at communicating, you
can involve them in an exercize that has them
practising paraphrasing; in groups of two have
the other partner paraphrase the situation
* As the saying goes;
I hear, I forget
1 see, I remember
I do, I understand
