Delivering end-user training
Once you have prepared for training, the next step is to conduct the training. Effective
training is high interest, systematic, and appropriately paced. When conducting a training
session you must consider the range of experience, skill levels, and learning styles which
your students represent. Follow these proven steps for conducting a productive training
session:
1. Gain the attention of the class and promote interest.
It is important to gain—and hold—participants' attention from the outset of the training. To
this end, you should maximize students' participation. Consider beginning the training
with a "go-around" to allow participants to introduce themselves, and share concerns they
may have with the phone system. This will pique participants' interest, set the stage for
cooperative learning, and help you tailor the training to the participants' needs.
2. Share the objectives for the session with the class.
Be explicit about the purpose of the session and its goals. You may want to give
examples of how the information that you'll present will help them do their jobs more
effectively. Ask if there are any additional topics or features that participants would like to
cover.
3. Review past training.
If appropriate, briefly review the last training session. Get feedback on any trouble that
participants are having with material they learned in previous sessions.
4. Introduce the new concept.
Briefly explain the feature or outline the procedure you are presenting. Provide step by
step visual aids to reinforce the concept.
5. Demonstrate the proper performance.
Set up a representative number of phones for various set-types. Demonstrate the steps
participants are learning with the phone set up in the classroom. Involve participants in
role plays to demonstrate proper phone etiquette.
6. Divide end-users into smaller groups.
Large groups of students can be unwieldy for interactive activities. Divide training
participants into smaller groups according to some commonality such as their
departments, phone types, or common training needs.
7. Allow end-users to practice.
If possible, have end-users practice the tasks and procedures discussed. If the class size
is too unwieldy for all participants to practice, or time is limited, select a representative
su/jointfilesconvert/102807/bgroup to do so.
8. Provide feedback.
Give appropriate praise and helpful suggestions. Encourage participants to do the same
for one and other.
