OVERVIEW OF APPROACH TO
DEVELOPING WORKSHOPS/COURSES:
- Meet with “Design Team” members (those identified by the
client as sharing responsibility/interest/expertise re: the
workshop/course outcomes)
- Understand the desired outcomes and content of workshop/course
- Understand the participants-to-be: their perceived need, major work
issues, challenges to learning, learning styles, past training with the
course content, current skill level, and nature of work
- Co-develop draft workshop agenda/course curriculum with input from
“design team “ members; and finalize using feedback
- Customize the workshop/course by identifying relevant “real
life” examples drawn from knowledge of the participants-to-be and
the organization
- Develop and review the participant materials; discuss any questions or
concerns with “design team members”; and finalize using
feedback
- Integrate effective adult learning techniques: offer opportunities for
all participants to participate, internalize, practice and receive
feedback; use various presentation techniques that accommodate all
learning styles (i.e. verbal, visual, written, hands-on practice and
introspective-time to process information)
- Facilitate the workshop/course (consider a pilot session for evaluation
of course content and related materials, if an ongoing
workshop/course)
- Use the participants’ feedback (written, verbal & via body
language) to improve the quality of workshop/course and to keep the
organization informed of participants’ needs
- Make changes to the workshop agenda/course curriculum, as requested in
writing and approved by the “Design Team
