Impactful Presentations

Why do presentations often fail to have the impact we desire? One reason is that information alone will never move people. In this course, you’ll go beyond presenting just the facts and figures to craft compelling presentations that will motivate others, inspire action, and enable buy-in. By surfacing what matters to your audience, you’ll learn to create presentations that are both meaningful and memorable. Gain the confidence and skills it takes to shift the way people think, feel, and behave.

Note: While this course is not focused on the visual design of presentations, it does cover a few quick tips to get you started.

Course Outcomes

• Deliver presentations that spark a shift in beliefs, behaviors, and mindsets.
• Sequence and convey your information in a way that will create a meaningful journey for your audience.
• Open hearts and minds by developing a trusted relationship with your audience.
• Apply techniques to help people pay attention and remember the information you share.
• Practice with unique presentation methods in order to create an engaging experience for your audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do ideo u cohort courses work does my time zone matter.

We offer three types of courses: self-paced courses, cohort courses, and certificate programs. Cohort courses run on a set calendar, with fixed start and end dates. Course learning is self-paced within those dates and requires approximately 4-5 hours per week over 5 weeks. Courses consist of videos, activities, assignments, access to course teaching teams, and feedback from a global community of learners. There are also optional 1-hour video Community Conversations, held weekly by the teaching team. 

All of our cohort courses are fully online, so you can take them from any time zone, anywhere in the world. With our cohort course experience , while you'll be learning alongside other learners, you'll still have the flexibility to work at the pace that fits your own schedule. There aren’t mandatory live components, so you don't have to worry about having to log in at a specific time. At the same time, you'll have access to a teaching team, which is composed of experts in the field who are there to provide you feedback, and there are also plenty of options to connect with your fellow learners.

What is the role of the instructor and teaching team? Will learners be able to get feedback?

Course instructors have a strong presence in the courses through the course videos, but they're not actively providing feedback or holding direct conversations with our learners. We have a teaching team to ensure that you have the feedback, guidance, and support you need to learn successfully in your course. Our teaching team members are design practitioners that have experience applying course methods and mindsets in a wide variety of contexts around the world.

Our teaching team consists of teaching leads and teaching assistants, who are experts in their fields. Many of them have been with IDEO U for many years, and we have selected those who have direct experience with applying the course methods and mindsets in all sorts of contexts around the world. They all go through multiple training sessions by our instructional designers on not only on the subject matter, but also on how to create safe and collaborative learning experiences and environments.

What are Community Conversations, and how are they related to the course material?

Community Conversations are one-hour live video conversations hosted by the teaching team on Zoom. These happen once per week, with each one having two to three time options to accommodate different time zones. Each week focuses on the lesson that you’ve just gone through, so the output and the content depend on the specific lessons. You'll have the opportunity if you work together with your peers on the tools and mindsets from the course, reflect on what you’ve learned, and also address any challenges that you might be going through.

What will I have access to during and after my course?

All course materials, including videos, activities, and assignments will be available while you are enrolled in a course. During the 5 weeks of the course, you will have full access to our learning platform and can refer back to it any time. You will only have access to the course materials while you are enrolled. 

Assignments must be submitted during the 5-week course duration in order for you to receive a certificate of completion.

Can I take the course with my team?

Absolutely! We have had many teams go through our courses together. For those taking our courses as a team, we provide a number of additional benefits:

1. A Team Learning Guide, developed to provide your team with resources to facilitate offline discussions that complement the in-course experience.

2. A Manage Learners function, which provides visibility into your team's progress within the course.

3. The ability to create a private Learning Circle, which is a closed space for discussion on the learning platform specifically for your team.

For more information, visit our Team Learning page.

What Others Are Saying

“I've been delivering presentations my whole career, this course is game-changing for everything I knew. This course made me realize there are more creative ways to deliver a message.”

“I had an aha moment when I realized that you need to focus on the shift you want your audience to make versus the content you want to say.”

“Wonderful course on key elements that anyone should use to have a more memorable presentation prepared!”

“Having spent my career presenting to varied audiences, there is no doubt that most presentations are too data-heavy and the audience is lost early on. There is no one better than IDEO colleagues Ann and Alex to provide novel and impactful skills to those who present for a living….or for anyone who just wants to get better at presentation. Not only will you learn great new skills, but you will have fun doing so!”

Mathematics for Primary Education Are you interested in a teaching degree in Mathematics for Primary Education? Then please continue below.

Mathematics for Secondary Education Are you interested in a teaching degree in Mathematics for Secondary Education? Then please continue below.

Mathematics for Primary Education

The Mathematics for Primary Education course centres on acquiring skills in mathematics itself as well as in the teaching of mathematics. These skills form the basis for becoming a successful teacher for primary school children. The course tackles:

The subject-related principles of the mathematics topics to be taught.

Approaches to the teaching of mathematics for the analysis and development of mathematics teaching and learning processes for this age group.

• The role of mathematics in schools and its contribution to general education.

Study principles are:

Research-based learning

Within the part of the course dedicated to the teaching of mathematics, topics treated are above all theories of mathematics teaching and learning with a special view to teaching and learning conditions in schools. Students are offered the possibility to undertake their own independent research. For example, they can test empirically learning materials and environments they have developed themselves on the basis of specific theoretical principles. Recent results from research projects currently running at the Institute are integrated into teaching. In addition, students are given the opportunity to take an active part in ongoing research projects.

Communicative exchange

between persons in the three phases of teacher training (study, teaching practice, further training). Many courses cover different phases, for example in the Lehr@mt , IPhaMat and KoRALL projects either the university seminar was combined with a training module from the second phase or the course was opened up for further teacher training.

Development of reflective and analysis skills

of student teachers as an integrated part of building up sound, subject-related skills and the capacity to act. This is achieved, for example, through portfolio work with a focus on mathematics teaching in individual courses or methodically controlled reconstruction of aspects of everyday mathematics teaching processes.

Mathematics for Secondary Education

Teacher of Mathematics is still a profession with good future prospects. At grammar schools, but even more so at other types of secondary schools, the chances of finding employment are relatively high. There is also demand for mathematics teachers at special needs schools, but how this will develop in future as a result of the inclusion policy of the regional governments in Germany is at present hard to judge. Current forecasts for demand and lots of other information can be found on the website of the Hesse Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs ( Hessisches Kultusministerium - HKM ).

Each year, about 150 students commence a teaching degree in Frankfurt in the subject of Mathematics for Secondary Education. Having completed either a L2 or a L5 teaching degree (special needs schools and secondary schools except grammar schools) they are qualified to teach mathematics up until the end of middle school (UK equivalent = Year 10/11; GCSE). With a L3 teaching degree (grammar schools) they may also teach mathematics in the upper school up until Abitur (UK = A level). That is why the L3 degree includes topics such as didactics for upper school courses and mathematics lectures in greater depth, whilst the L2/L5 degree allows more time for didactics for middle school topics such as algebra, geometry and stochastic processes and the mathematics lectures remain more in the area of basic principles. You can find an overview and description of the individual courses on the website of the Central Examinations Office for Teaching Programmes ( Zentrales Prüfungsamt für Lehramtsstudiengänge ).

Computer Science for Secondary Education

In Frankfurt, you can study Computer Science for the following teaching degrees: L2 (secondary schools, excluding grammar schools), L3 (grammar schools) and L5 (special needs schools). The University of Frankfurt is the first university in Hesse to offer a L2/L5 study programme.

Studying Computer Science for a teaching degree is fun and offers good professional prospects. You get to grips with lots of exciting topics, however not in the same depth as in a major-subject programme but instead on a broader scale. The most important elements of the programme are:

Subject-related lectures, seminars, exercises, practical training in modelling and programming and theoretical and technical Computer Science. There are a number of options so that students can specialize depending on their interests.

Courses in ubject-related teaching methodologies concerned with questions on which topics are to be taught in schools, choice and justification of topics and methods for teaching these topics.

In-school placement to test yourself as a teacher and gather experience which is then examined from a theoretical perspective in the didactics courses.

You can find an overview and description of the individual courses on the website of the Central Examinations Office for Teaching Programmes ( Zentrales Prüfungsamt für Lehramtsstudiengänge ). More information from the Institute of Computer Science is available here .

Educational leave in Frankfurt

Educational leave is a special form of leave and is used for professional, political and general further education. In most of the federal states there is educational leave, including in Hesse . If you as an employee are entitled to educational leave according to the Bildungsurlaubsgesetz, your employer releases you from work for the duration of the educational leave (usually one or two weeks). This means that you will receive paid leave for your participation in the educational leave.

The intensive language courses at our language school in Frankfurt are recognized as Bildungsurlaub for language courses in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian . Educational leave as a language course is particularly popular and can also be advantageous for your employer. For example, if English language skills are important for your job, your employer may well contribute to the cost of the language course.

Frequently asked questions about educational leave

Who is entitled to educational leave.

Whether you can take educational leave depends first of all on which federal state your workplace is in. Only in Bavaria and Saxony is there currently no entitlement to educational leave. In Hesse, the Hessian Educational Leave Act regulates the framework conditions. If you apply to your employer for educational leave, your employment or training relationship should have existed for at least six months.

An educational leave event usually takes place over five consecutive days and must, of course, be officially recognized.

How long does an educational leave last?

Educational leave usually lasts one week (five course days). If you would like to take part in a language course for longer, you can book three weeks, for example, and take one week as educational leave.

If you do not take any educational leave in one year, you can carry over your entitlement for that year to the following year. You can then take two weeks of educational leave in the following year. It is important that you notify your employer in writing of the transfer by December 31.

Can I take a language course as educational leave?

Yes, the prerequisite is that your language course is recognized as educational leave. At our language school in Frankfurt, you can take intensive courses in English, German, Spanish, Italian and French as educational leave. You must book the course as an intensive course in order to meet the requirements.

Will I receive a salary during my educational leave?

Yes, if you take part in a recognized educational leave, you will continue to receive your salary. In practice, this works like additional paid leave.

Can I deduct educational leave as income-related expenses for tax purposes?

You should always try to declare professionally or business-related expenses in your tax return. Language skills are often important for your career. Ask your employer to confirm in writing that you also need the language skills for your job. Ideally, your employer will also cover part of the costs of the training leave.
