Training from the BACK of the Room! (TBR)

Before you continue reading this blog post, let’s start off with a simple exercise. Grab a piece of paper and a pen and jot down the names or descriptions of a few interactive e-learning strategies you have used or have seen used in the past. I’ll pause here while you write 😉 When you’ve finished writing, download the 7 free tips in this blog post and see how many you’re already using.

These 7 interactive strategies will most certainly engage and involve learners during a virtual class or webinar. I call them “content-independent” activities, meaning that they can be used with any e-learning subject or topic, even detailed and content-heavy ones. You can use one, two, or all of the tips in one online learning event and the feedback you receive from the participants will make your efforts at “waking ’em up” totally worthwhile!

Below is the link to the free, PDF-formatted infographic. You can download, print, and share these tips with interested colleagues or anyone who conducts online learning (by the way, the tips work great with face-to-face learning, as well):

Wake ‘Em Up! 7 Tips for Interactive E-Learning.

Another resource that expands on the ideas in the infographic is the following blog post:

When Everything is Suddenly Virtual by Jean-Paul Bayley and José Casal.

You can find all of these interactive strategies and more in my two books, “Using Brain Science to Make Training Stick” and “Training from the BACK of the Room.”

Want to learn more? Then plan to attend an in-person, 2-day “Training from the BACK of the Room” (TBR) Practitioner Class. For a list of public classes, dates, and registration information, click on the Training Calendar page.

October 2020 Update: Until Covid abates and the in-person TBR Practitioner Classes begin again, do consider attending one of the TBR-Virtual Edition (TBR-VE) Classes listed on the Training Calendar page.

Enjoy the learning! 🙂
