Twenty Technology Training Tips

Let's face it, our jobs involve more training than ever before, even if it's one on one more often than in a classroom setting. But many of us haven't ever been trained to train. How many of us might, if only occassionally and inadvertently, violate such rules as:

  • Don't read the screen to your trainees....they can read for themselves.
  • Have multiple copies and versions of your presentation as your Plan B.
  • Or my personal favorite, DO NOT TAKE THE KEYBOARD OR MOUSE AWAY FROM THE LEARNER!

These tips come from a presentation by Rob Coers and Michael Stephens, Twenty Technology Training Tips from Two Trainers.

I found the slide on body language, which suggested kneeling down when you explain something at the trainee's desk to be especially useful.

There's lot of good stuff here.
