How are you wrapping up your classes lately?
Asking learners to reflect back on their experience is vital to longterm behavioral change. Stop-Start-Continue is a classic exercise that can be easily added into your virtual training.
Add one slide to your slide deck then ask learners to use the annotation function to add their thoughts to the slide. In my example below you’ll see there are a lot of ideas for each. Learners benefit from thinking about their own as well as seeing what others add. As people finish I ask them to stamp anything they didn’t think of that stood out for them.
The exercise takes about 4 minutes.
No annotation feature in your learning platform?
- Ask learners to respond to the same three questions in chat
- Use three google slides to respond
- Ask the questions in Mentimeter, Miro, or a similar app
- Use a shared document
You can download my slide and modify it for your own trainings. Let me know if you use it! I’d love to hear about your success.
