 Program Details
Have you ever been forced to participate in an activity for the sake of activity?  You know, the activity that you can’t directly relate to your work or to the skill being learned.  Interactive training is great, but it’s important to remember to relate activities to workplace skills for activities to be relevant and effective.  In this session, we will explore how to develop delivery method appropriate activities that work.  This highly interactive session will investigate what makes activities great and how to successfully use activities in your training.  In addition, we will discover ways that you can enhance your workplace learning and performance skills through chapter opportunities.  Don’t miss this opportunity to network and learn from other workplace learning and performance professionals.
Program Objectives
  • Determine appropriate activities for classroom and/or online application
  • Facilitate activities that promote workplace skill transfer
  • Discover opportunities to enhance your WLP skill set
