Audience participation

Each session was initiated by state-of-the-art reviews, summarizing both the theoretical and applied aspects of the subject these were followed by invited technical papers. A panel discussion among speakers/coauthors, including audience participation, concluded each session. This volume contains only the technical papers of the conference the questions and answers for the papers will be printed as a separate publication. 

The morning session was devoted to a general explanation of the areas of application in studying magnetic properties, oxidation states, compounds, and metal structure. In the afternoon, reviews of the Mossbauer investigations of iron, tin, iodine, tellurium, and some of the rare earth elements were presented. The meeting concluded with a discussion on the future of Mossbauer Spectroscopy in which an interested audience participated. 

A panel discussion of symposium speakers with audience participation was held to discuss means and methods of instituting chemometric (statistical, computer) methods into general use in analytical problems. Discussion centered around three topics analysts in their own work, analysts in the educational process, and analysts in the political and social scene. 

This book is a result of the first symposium on the Maillard reaction held in this country (the second in the world2). Panel discussions with audience participation were held on the subjects of food and nutritional benefits of Maillard reaction products and the toxicology of Maillard reaction products but are not reported here. Interaction between participants during this meeting helped cement relations for continued help and perhaps will promote some new areas for cooperative research between American and foreign scientists. This symposium was also an important element in the training of graduate students it provided them with increased awareness of the breadth of the scientific field. We hope that it is true of each of you ... 

The story is told for maximum emotional impact and audience participation in the proceedings. 

The concept of telling a story for greatest emotional impact and audience participation is perhaps the most difficult. It s often described as "show, don t tell," which means that you want to present the evidence or information that allows viewers to experience the story for themselves, anticipating twists and turns and following the story line in a...

Include open-end questions and exercises. Design active audience participation in the learning process whenever possible. 

The real value of direct interaction between a lecturer and his audience is in the interest he can aronse by presenting the topic in a challenging and perhaps personal way as well as in the give-and-take interaction of direct exchange and participation. I have always tried in my lectnres to give my stndents not only a presentation of facts and concepts, but, based on my own experience and involvement, to convey to them the fascination of exploring the intrigning world of chemistry. 

A useful way to approach this is to develop your proposal (1) as if key managers are unable to participate in a meeting, but request a full briefing, or (2) as though you have a sudden emergency and a colleague must stand in for you. This means you cannot rely on brief, cryptic bullet points on an overhead slide, or fall back on "I ll cover that in the Q and A." This approach means more work on the front end, but the discipline it requires is likely to pay off in terms of results since it helps assure comprehensive treatment of the subject and a more thorough appreciation from your audience. 

Speakers and audience members were encouraged to submit written versions of their participation. Edited versions follow. 

The editors hope that this book will be as enlightening and useful to the reader as the lecture series was to the participating audience. It is a great pleasure to thank our contributors and publisher for their excellent cooperation, without which this volume would not have been possible. A special note of grateful acknowledgment goes to Florence Forman and Debra H. Forman for their meticulous editorial assistance. 

I am grateful to the other participants in the conference on addiction for comments, especially to my commentator on that occasion, Michael Bratman. I also thank Jon Elster for convening and moderating the conference as well as for his insightful work on virtually all aspects of this topic. This chapter has also benefited from discussions with Teresa Chandler, Michael Hudson, Sara Lundquist, and audiences at various colloquia. 

There is a wide range of examples of how networking has been achieved by farmers, with and without the participation of government agencies and private advisers. Although not all dedicated to organic farms and farmers, these networks are descried as examples of how farmergenerated ideas have reached wide audiences in several places in the world. 

In addition to the formal presentations, the participants and the audience engaged in vigorous discussions which continued well after the three sessions were officially closed. 

If there were to be a celestial dinner party of the greatest physicists, most participants would request to be seated next to Frank Ham. Frank was a gifted conversationalist, who could command the attention of an audience on a variety of topics. His passing will come as a shock to many, as the vivacity of his personality drove away the thoughts of death from any association with him.1... 

Once a story is developed, it is crucial to stress test it. This can be achieved by looking at it from the viewpoint of the different audiences, such as customers, investors, or employees how would this particular audience respond to the telling of the current story What does it take to turn skeptics into believers and passive onlookers into active participants The next test would be to develop a full story variant for each audience. The variants for employees may be extended further in a story cascade . What form does the story take for key groups, such as business units, functional units, and front-line teams Is this a good story for the R D personnel, one that will increase the company s momentum in innovation Will the sales force be sufficiently excited and motivated by the story to reach the required sales volumes Of course, it is not really possible to define precisely what the story will mean to an audience, group, or particular individual. In the end, everyone connected with the corporation will tell their own version, but ideally in close alignment with the general theme.
