Engaging your learners - the winning formula
This is the shortest article I have ever written. But it could be the most potent with respect to the impact you take away from this simple equation.
Before I give it away, please understand that learner engagement is arguably the most important skill a trainer/facilitator can have. Without engagement, the transfer of real learning does not occur.
To garner engagement, you need to apply the following formula in your planning, development and facilitation:
(Attention + Interest) x Purpose* = Engagement
*Purpose can also be thought of in terms of "what's in it for me".
