Do you avoid using experiential learning activities because they take too much time to design and deliver? Then try using jolts instead. These efficient exercises can be conducted in just a few minutes to give long-lasting wake-up calls and powerful insights. In this field-tested workshop, experience, explore, design, develop, evaluate, and revise a variety of jolts. Return to your workplace with a collection of multipurpose jolts and the competencies related to designing and facilitating your own jolts.

Program
Are you still using your grandparents' instructional-design model?
Fifteen years ago, Thiagi stopped using the ADDIE model and started using a continuous, concurrent, creative, co-design approach. Thiagi's associates and hundreds of trainees around the world have used this approach to design corporate training materials faster, cheaper, and better. In this walk-the-talk workshop learn when, why, and how to apply principles from chaos, creativity, and self-organizing complex systems to develop instruction for the next generation. Also learn these specific skills:
|
- Apply proven principles from a variety of disciplines to the design of high-quality accomplishment-based training materials and methods.
- Use a variety of templates to structure content and to design appropriate learning activities.
- Redefine the role of learners and participants to require and reward greater participation in the learning process.
- Rapidly design training packages by ignoring, combining, re-sequencing, and accelerating the traditional steps the process.
