  • Summary

  • So many online programs rely on passive learning experiences, being lectured by the “expert”, in hour long Zoom calls or pre-recorded videos, frantically scribbling pages of notes that you never look back over. Once the hour is done you’re left with unanswered questions and feeling unsure as to how it applies to you.


    This kind of approach, where we expect our clients to passively absorb the information we share is highly ineffective if we want to facilitate change and support our clients to get REAL results. So what can we do instead?


    I break that down in this episode, and here's your homework! Ha!



    1. Ask yourself whether your delivery style is primarily passive (listening to you) vs active (them taking action and doing the work)


    2. What is the ultimate goal of my course? What is that A to B?


    3. How can I infuse interactive elements into that learning pathway e.g. discussions, critiques, work examples


    4. How can I encourage learner autonomy and self-direction? Help them to take control with self assessment, goal setting and reflective exercises #


    5. Ask yourself, am I providing regular opportunities for application and practice? This could look like setting them a challenge or a get it done week.
