Raluca used activities like polls and bingo to reinforce our learning, which was a great way to keep everyone engaged, and being sent into a 'breakout room' during group activities and breaks meant we still got to network and socialise, despite the conference being delivered remotely. I feel much more confident now in my understanding of many of the topics the course addressed."

It covered a variety of topics: some familiar ones in the first half to refresh my memory of topics I've come across over the years (e.g. Gestalt Principles), and then some unfamiliar more advanced ones in the end. It was nice to have those interactive polls and quizzes to keep us engaged. In the end, our instructor use a single analogy to tie together many of the concepts, which was a very elegant way to summarize the presentation."

Vincent Lo, Vancouver, Canada
