  • Technical Training Needing to Slow Down - Deep Dive Series
    Nov 18 2024

    Chunk and Chew method when providing technical training. In an article and video about online facilitation, Patricia Regier emphasizes the importance of slowing down when presenting information to ensure understanding and engagement. She advises facilitators to consider the sensory experiences of their participants, explaining that they might be simultaneously listening, watching, taking notes, and attempting to apply the information. Regier recommends incorporating visual cues and verbal descriptions when sharing information, particularly when demonstrating technical tasks, as participants may not always be looking at the same place on their screens. By consistently describing actions and locations, facilitators can ensure that participants can follow along, regardless of their visual access or learning styles. She also encourages facilitators to adopt a learner perspective and consider how their participants are experiencing the training.

I laughed when I directed how I wanted the podcast to sound, including being more professional, etc., and asked them to pronounce my last name correctly. I didn't expect them to point out it in the podcast. I decided to leave that in. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog and tutorial about using AI in strategic and creative ways.
