Online Live-Streamed Sessions

Dr Jane delivers engaging live-streamed sessions for secondary schools

My specialty is delivering interactive, online study skills sessions to large groups of students. I have a lot of fun working with secondary school students who respond well to me up on a big screen (this generation is comfortable interacting with a person on a screen).

If you have a large year group (and no venue to fit all your students) or are a school based in a regional area, this is a cost effective solution for delivering engaging study skills sessions. Instead of booking multiple speakers for the one time slot, you can stream my live session into multiple classrooms.

I deliver interactive and engaging sessions that draw on the latest cutting-edge research.

I’m passionate about teaching and finding creative ways to communicate ideas, effective learning strategies, and research to students, parents, and teaching staff.

I use the best technology* to keep my online sessions as fresh, interactive, and engaging as possible. I have a professional studio space that allows me to deliver online sessions with ease to secondary schools around Australia.

I can use Zoom and Webex (Note: Teams is currently not available).

*I use special software called OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), a stream deck, green screen, multiple monitors, and lights. This set up allows me to create a more connected, streamlined, and visually engaging experience for secondary students.

How my study skills sessions work

Students can either remain in their classrooms or sit in a lecture theatre where I am projected up onto a screen.

Multiple classrooms can join the session at a time (maximum of 15 classrooms).

Note: Due to the interactive nature of the session, I recommend students watch the presentation on a large screen rather than on their personal laptops.

What you need to have for the session to work:

Sessions work best when your students are seated facing a screen (i.e., theatre style seating). Having students seated on the floor or around tables is not recommended.

Here’s all you’ll need to run a session:

A computer or laptop with Internet access
Data projector and a large screen
Zoom or a Webex account (it’s free)
Speaker (for audio)

You will be provided with a meeting link and simple instructions on how to get set up for the session.

A free tech trial is also available before the day.

What others are saying about these sessions . . .

Our students were even more engaged by Dr Genovese's online sessions, if that's possible. This cohort of students find it natural to 'view' and were less inhibited by the live streamed session than having a person in front of them. It was like their own interactive YouTube video that answered them! They were calling out and playing the warm-up games with gusto. From my perspective, the technology was simple to engage with and the quality excellent. It was efficient, fuss-free and, as usual, hit the brief we gave Jane. I am newly converted to online live-streamed sessions!

As I’m sure you can imagine, I’ve seen my fair share of online sessions over the past couple of years. Today’s session with the year 10’s was by far the best I have hosted here. The seamless manner of your screen changes, the way you interact with the girls and still get their input and finally incorporating simple sound effects to re-capure their attention after a discussion time was brilliant.

Jane’s online sessions are as engaging, interactive and relevant as her face to face presentations. Students need independent study skills now more than ever, and the online sessions have provided ongoing opportunities for students to maintain and develop their use of Study Hacks strategies.
