This presentation will enable you to apply recent research findings to craft a ‘buzz’ about learning to enhance attendance, participation, and enrollment. During this lively and interactive workshop, you will experience immediately applicable techniques to generate, maintain and protect student enthusiasm. Furthermore, you will gain a better understanding of how personal and collective experiences build on each other to create potentially helpful, or harmful, associations that strongly influence students’ attitudes and efforts. Examples will also be given to show how to apply these techniques to make regular classes more exciting, as well as how they can be used to promote one-off or annual activities such as study abroad programs.
