Provide some content and make it available to them before coming to the session, and ask them to send you any topic that they will be comfortable to talk about it in the group, and why. This will give an overall clue as to where the focus of the class should be.

Sara, giving ownership of program sections to learners can certainly allow them to start in the comfort zone and transition into their growth zones...without encroaching on their panic zones!

Provide a jigsaw where table groups or individuals learned about a sub-topic so they could share what they learn and how to apply it with others in the class.

Teachbacks are engaging and - when well set up - effective at personalizing the program content and bringing learners' stories into the learning.

Create a team/table based scenario (team roles assigned per table) and have them work through the a problem/scenario, necessitating input from each role in order to create a solid/sound case for scenario movement.

Kari -
Fantastic way to provide structure and also allow for learner-provided nuance and specifics to bring the learning home for each participant. Thanks!

Identify 5 questions to ask the group and let them answer and have meaningful conversation based on their answers.

As an e-learning designer, I love seeing technology used in the classroom. Instead of lecture, I would give a tablet to table groups to use for activities. I would build an interaction such as an escape room that forces them to use the kills that they are learning to unlock certain "door" or find "clues".

Fantastic. There is such value to leveraging the "eLearning ID mindset" to create engaging f2f programs and VILT programs as well. Thanks for the inspiration Kayla.

I love the concept of splitting them into teams and then having them do a bit of research in areas that I lead them to and then having them teach the class their concept. If they can teach me, then I know they "got it".

Research exercises have become SO accessible with smart phones, tablets, and laptops routinely in f2f programs...and even easier in VILT. Closing the loop to ensure the learning is happening is too often overlooked. Thanks Lorrie!

Have each learner study one aspect of an ideology and then adopt it as their own to try to convince others to join them in their belief

Break the lecture portion into segments, then break my audience into groups to work on the individual segments. After an appropriate amount of time, have them report out and learn from one another with the facilitator filling in any gaps.

Chunking is good thing! And when the facilitator is left to fill in the gaps, it can enhance their credibility...."we figured all this out on our own, but he was able to ADD all of this!"
