Persuasive presentations [educational technology]

Faculty are constantly being encouraged to utilize educational technology in engineering education. Research also indicates that learning is enhanced through sensory involvement, that is, the more senses that are involved, the greater the likelihood that learning will take place. We have the continued opportunity to involve the senses as we utilize the newer technologies of instruction such as computers, presentation software, and projection systems. In addition to it being a resource for faculty to use for presentations, the equipment can also be included in the instructional program, allowing students to be involved with the utilization of multimedia for enhanced learning, and even in the development of media-rich presentations
