Quarter-1: April 17, 2021 - Online Distraction and Loss of Learning & Knowledge Transfer


Quarter-1:Testimonials

PMI Lakeshore’s First Quarterly Education Knowledge Sharing Event, "Online Distraction and Loss of Learning & Knowledge Transfer" was quite informative. As a post-secondary educator, I found the presentation made by Wayne Ferrell truly relevant as we try to figure out how to keep students (and by extension our fellow colleagues) engaged and coping in the “new normal” online environment. In his talk, Wayne debunked the myth of “multitasking” and moderated an interactive discussion on how to keep students/the project team and its members engaged. I took a lot away from this session and I sincerely look forward to the next offering of the Knowledge Sharing Branch.

"Knowledge sharing is the reason why I always wanted to join PMI... I enjoyed yesterday's session on "How to Build a Solid Bridge between the Project World and the School World?". Walter Ginevri is a great speaker and he influenced me to read more about the school world, as it contains the real gold for our upcoming future. I am also planning to buy his book on "Project Management for Education". Thank you so much, to all the members of the PMI Lakeshore Ontario Chapter, and special thanks to you, Sonia for arranging this session and inviting young minds. Looking forward to future events. Greetings !!"

Quarter-2:Testimonial

"Attending This webinar was truly eye-opening and informative. As someone who is passionate about leveraging technology to enhance the education system, I found the content of this webinar to be incredibly insightful and thought-provoking.

Throughout the session, expertly walked us through the various applications of AI in education, from personalized learning to intelligent tutoring systems. They provided real-life examples and case studies that highlighted the potential impact of AI in improving student outcomes, while also addressing some of the common concerns and misconceptions around this technology.

What I appreciated most about presentation style was their ability to break down complex concepts and explain them in a way that was easy to understand. They engaged the audience with interactive Question/Answer sessions.

Overall, I highly recommend attending a webinar on using Artificial Intelligence in Education to anyone who is interested in exploring the intersection of technology and education. I left the session feeling inspired and equipped with practical insights that I can apply in my own work. Thank you, for such a valuable and engaging webinar!"
