Attendees should be actively engaged in the learning rather than just sitting listening. This could include, for example, discussion groups, case studies, problem solving cards sorts etc. where the learner is actively learning rather than passively listening. Trainers may need to take into consideration that many trainees are busy people and need engaging and efficient training options. Any programme should have a mechanism to check the measurable learning outcome was met or provide a reference tool the attendee can use in future. The verb of the learning outcome dictates what the learner is able to do, for example, Describe three reasons for…In this case the assessment should have learners each being able to describe the three reasons for …and this could be achieved in group discussions, a multiple-choice quiz (which has the learner identify the three correct descriptions), a take home hand reference card etc.An important aspect to remember is that the training has not worked unless learning has been checked. ................
