Classroom trainers have proven the importance of interactive activities for maintaining participant interest, replenishing audience energy, and increasing content retention. However, many activities suitable to the classroom don't translate well to that web-based environment so popular with corporate and educational trainers today.
What activities work online?
This book helps to answer that question.
The first of its kind;this book contains 53 openers, closers, energizers and review techniques for web-based training design (including web-based CBT, asynchronous and synchronous classes, text-based, and audio and/or video conferencing)!
And every activity works in the classroom as well! Since all of the activities are written from the perspective of being used in the most limiting of all web-based venues&emdash;asynchronous text-based instruction, the reader can be assured that each activity translates effectively into the less limiting environments of audio/video conferencing and CBT.
Using this book as a resource, the trainer will be able to easily find NEW content-related activities for increasing the interaction and energy in their web-based trainings.
Thanks to the accompanying CD it will be a snap to then integrate the activity into their online class.
Having completed this book, the reader will be able to
- Apply the best learning activity to their content
- Design online courses with greater student interaction and consequently greater content retention
- Select from 53 different Openers, Closers, Energizers, and Review Techniques for bringing variety into their e-learning
