During the training

Training activities

Lectures

Breakout/hands-on guided exercises

• one or several participants are asked to share their screen and perform exercises
• the participants can be divided into 2 groups if necessary

Off-camera exercises/assignments

• given to support and augment the learning experience
• outputs are discussed upon resumption of the training

Question/answer session

Recording the training

• The live training sessions should be recorded.
• The two (2) trainers should record the training simultaneously.
  • To do this, the two trainers should both be hosts of the meeting.
• The recording may be stored on the cloud (using the provided Zoom account) or on the trainer’s local computer. In the case of the latter, the trainer should share a copy of the recording after.

Curated questions

• Curate a list of questions asked during the training (and answers to these questions). The Slack channel, a shared Google doc, or the Zoom messenger may be used for this.
• Share the curated questions and answers after the training.

Brainstorm projects for the mentoring phase

• Ideally, these projects should be done by group and should utilize the things they learned during the training.
• Additionally, having projects that are directly related to their day-to-day work is advised.
• Utilize the Mentoring phase project document to help participants with brainstorming their project.

Post-training survey (live-training)

• Sample post-training survey
• A template will be provided.
