Keeping Debriefs Brief
Category: Train the Trainer, Blog
Groups work well then they are diverse and have either relevant knowledge to share or process skills…In a learning situation, working in groups is an important part of your design … In part, this is of course a function of learning style preferences, but there are some things you, the trainer, can do to help learners squeeze out (squeeze in?) all the learning without it having to take forever.
