Asking for takeaways will work only if the speaker managed to keep the audience engaged and successful with the first four.... Having said that, thanks for sharing... Very insightful and useful.... I also think making the discussion interactive is the key... No one likes monologues
Absolutely agree on interactivity being key… It takes an exceptional story and speaker to make a lecture interesting, I’d say. Planning interaction into the session (or student engagement into the lesson plan) is absolutely the commonly missed element. Wish I’d thought to articulate it in the video! Thanks for this. :) I do think it’s still helpful to ask for takeaways even if 1-4 aren’t done… because it’ll help you understand how much the audience really was able to absorb - it’s good feedback for next time, esp if they draw a blank. 😅 Thanks for engaging thoughtfully with this - and do share onwards to three people who’d find it useful. :)
