Learner Engagement & Assessment Workshop
One area of instructional design I really enjoy is designing in-person and virtual workshops, including handouts and job aids to supplement learning.
One popular workshop I designed and delivered was a train-the-trainer workshop focused on polling tools to increase learner engagement in non-formal learning events.
Keeping audiences engaged during presentations and determining whether learners are learning anything can be challenging. This handout accompanies a presentation that discusses when, why, and how to use various platforms to engage audiences or assess knowledge gain or behavior change.
