Exploring Profound Learning
Our Presentation for the "Short and Sweet" (SAS) Research Talks
We (Davin and Michael) promised we would keep you up-to-date here with our research about profound learning, the profound learner, and profound living, and thought you might be interested in this clip of our presentation for the University of Idaho "SAS" talks. This post is from both of us, though I (Michael) wrote the narrative here. Here we share a clip and information about our SAS Talk, which was a ton of fun.
We were honored to be presenters for the Short and Sweet
(SAS) Talks about research, which was sponsored by the University of Idaho's
Office of Research and Economic Development. Only six presentations are
scheduled and the university community is invited in person and at all our
centers around the state.
Only one presenter is allowed for each presentation. We insisted that it
would be either both of us or neither of us (Please note that the word of the
day today from Analytical Grammar/Grammar Planet is " cacoethes
- the irresistible urge to
do something inadvisable"....it seems to be my - Michael's - motto). Still, they
said yes. Definitely sweet.
We are so happy they captured this on video so we can share it with you and others. You'll note some technical issues with the video, which we apologize for, but hope you will find it interesting regardless.
The format is unusual. Each presenter can only have 20 slides and each slide advances automatically after 20 seconds. This is a style called PechaKucha. That puts a good deal of pressure on to be succinct and not to fumble around. I (Michael) had planned not to use notes but after Davin watched me stumble a few times we decided using notes was in order. This was our first time presenting in this format and you will see it is a bit rougher than we’d like, but it was a blast anyway!
The location was in the university's new Integrated Research and Innovation Center (IRIC) in the "step auditorium". I loved that location - it was unique (though not all that great for videotaping) and with the steps made me feel like I was a ancient Greek orator. Maybe that is because I am ancient, but fortunately there was no requirement to wear a toga.
