Application

• Break out into 4 groups for each of the Modes of Delivery

• Rate effectiveness of each Learner Retention strategy in the context of the example given (or other)– How does the Mode of Delivery impact

potential value of Learner Retention strategy?

• How would you move forward in incorporating these strategies in your next training activity?

• How would you measure success?
