Participant guides are often viewed as supplemental training materials, but they can play a much larger role in learner engagement and performance.
In this 60-minute session, we'll examine how participant guides support the learning process in three critical ways. First, they provide guidance, helping learners follow the training journey and stay focused on key concepts. Second, they provide opportunities for practice, allowing participants to engage with activities, capture insights, and reflect on new ideas. Finally, they serve as a reference, extending the value of the learning experience long after the training event concludes.
Through examples, discussion, and practical design strategies, you'll learn how to create participant guides that are more than a collection of handouts. You'll discover how to transform them into strategic learning tools that improve engagement, retention, and application.
