I don't know anything about this presenter (see below), but the topic sounds very interesting. I will be participating in this two-part series, since I can do it From any computer. I will be in Pennsylvania for the first session, but can still participate. So where ever you are, consider this professional development opportunity. Summer is a great time to consider new teaching techniques.

Dear Professor,
The Wiley Faculty Network is pleased to invite you to join us for our first-ever summer Virtual Guest Lectures! This June and July, Matt Leavitt, a specialist in using visuals to enhance student learning, will be leading a two-part series of Guest Lectures on both visuals and learning, and creating visuals for use in your classroom.
The "Learning" Guest Lectures focuses on the potential that visuals integrated with text hold for helping our students learn. The "Designing" Guest Lecture will help you to transform the visuals you use in the classroom into effective instructional tools that direct students' attention to important information.
You can participate from your own computer with internet access -- at no cost. Once registered, you will receive detailed instructions on how to attend.
