Your Challenge
Your Challenge |
---|
To design or redesign 1 customer training and 1 internal workshop so that it includes only the Need-to-Know content and your learners are doing 80% of the work. Your solution needs to be totally learner centred (contextual) and in-line with the latest research on how the brain learns. |
Some of the ideas we will explore to help you complete your challenge
- Priming for success – How to increase retention by up to 34%
What is priming and pre-exposure? Research shows that retention can be increased by up to 34%, so what are the best practical ways of doing it to reduced training time and costs? - Openings That Ignite A Room (15 ways to sizzle)
We have 30-60 seconds to create the magic and form neural connections for effective learning – so how do we do it. How do we get buy-in, build high calibre credibility and create the optimum brain friendly learning environment? - How To Write Behavioural Based Objectives
From a design perspective, how do we write objectives that can be observed during the training and measured after the training? As a designer/trainer we need these concrete signposts but our learners could ‘care less’, so how do we convert them into WIIFM’s or Challenges to grab out learners attention and set real world context. - The Power of the Learning Cycle
How to build learners centred modules that ensure learners are totally involved for over 80% of each learning module ie each piece of content. - Techniques for Grabbing Learners Attention
The idea of being able to hold learners attention for any length of time is just not possible. We can forget holding their attention for 1-day, half a day, 1 hour or even 15 minutes. But what we can do is grab their attention and focus it upon key points, then we have to let go. Here learners will take away practical techniques for grabbing and focusing learners attention. - Techniques That Bring Dry Material Alive
I don’t’ believe there is such a thing as dry material, there are some dry presenters, but no dry material. So what are some of the practical ideas and techniques you can use when designing to bring what could be seen as the driest of material to life? - Review, Review, Review
But we don’t have time. (Including 35 creative ways to review – without calling it a review.) - Optimal States for learning
To be a good training facilitator you need to be a master at managing learner states – so what’s required from the design side? - Closing with Flair (12 functions of an effective close).
How to design a well-orchestrated close that has a feeling of Movement (so learners know how far they have come), Meaning (to apply the learning to their own work), Value (so that learners know how important the learning will be) etc. However learners leave their workshop is probably how they’ll remember it.
Just because you said it, doesn’t mean they learned it
