An Engaging Method for Providing Choice to Virtual Learners

1/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Learners of all ages like having control over their experiences. While it isn't always possible to give over complete control, we can build in choices that honor their preferences. 

One approach is to offer two or more video clips on the same topic. Here's an example of how I did this in a recent virtual session on presentation skills. I found two different clips that addressed the design of instructional slides, lasting approximately the same amount of time. While the clips took very different approaches, the essential message was similar. Then I created a slide with QR codes so that my virtual participants could choose to scan either one.

After enough time passed, I asked participants to summarize their learning in the chat using 5 words or less. I encouraged everyone to look for patterns and we had some open discussion about their thoughts. 

You can accomplish the same thing by providing two different links for learners to click but I like the variety of using QR codes and mobile phones. The change of pace helps to keep engagement high. 

I'd love to share more ideas with your work team. Contact me to discuss a custom-designed option!
