A presenter s role is much more than the mere delivery of knowledge. Presenter has to internalize knowledge first in terms of components and relationships as they are received and then to reengineer them according to the requirements of the environment where they are to be presented. Knowledge does not get altered but simply adopted to suit the presentation environment. Presentation of knowledge that fails to take into account learner s preparation and needs may be devoid of intended benefits. The presenter has to often reengineer knowledge components and relations dynamically in order to stimulate the learner s mind with scenarios of how the knowledge that is presented can be used in responding to situations that the learner may face.
Wisdom is a matter of staging knowledge.
Knowledge is not a commodity that can be delivered as a bundle. It must be staged according to the situation at hand, presented in incremental fashion and worked on iteratively based on learners needs. Presenting too many things too quickly may cause confusion and undue stress. Presenting too few things sporadically may inhibit meaning. Detailing things prematurely may distort overall meaning, and not detailing enough may make knowledge useless in serving the desired goals.
