New Online Training Modules For Healthy Aging Programs Created By IOA Staff

February 2, 2010

Mary Altpeter, Director of Healthy Aging Initiatives and Interim Co-director of the IOA, and Danielle Borasky, IOA Associate Director for Information Services, have produced a series of three new online training modules, "Making Effective Presentations About Your Evidence-based Health Promotion Programs," for aging services providers and their partners. Funded by the Center for Healthy Aging at the National Council on Aging, each of the three modules in this series covers the basics about tailoring a presentation to a specific audience, organizing the presentation flow and themes, developing attractive slides with appropriate use of graphics, describing the key components and strategies of an evidence-based program, and presenting program data. The modules include illustrative slides and downloadable slide templates drawn from state evidence-based health promotion initiatives funded by the Administration on Aging, as well as a wealth of resources for planning and delivering presentations to both scientific and community audiences.
