This is a short presentation which took place in 2005 while sharing my program delivery experiences with my peers in UTStarcom which mainly focusing on how to make your training more vivid and lifely.
10. Videos (movie clips) were used in training by 79% of
the membership organizations (ASTD 1996)
They convey information through presentation or
lecture, by presenting situations that learners address
later in the program, or by providing examples of
effective or ineffective behavior for modeling purposes.
11. Effective for capturing learner attention.
Short clips from actual movie can provide
Hollywood-style excitement.
Extraordinary visual impact
12. Enrich the delivering and lesson guide
Be a highlight of the course
Make learning fun and entertaining
Powerful and inspiring
Serve as a bridge or linkage of the learning points
14. Refresh the delivering and trainer
Reinforce the previous learning points
Prelude to the following key points (as a opening)
Enchanting and humorous
Gain respect and appreciation from trainees
Helps the trainer to be a real facilitator
16. Carefully design the lesson guide
Strategically selected to achieve a specific
purpose
Well edited, make sure translated properly or
with clear subtitles
Black & White the clips into workbook (if need)
17. Test the lighting system
Related equipments are in good condition
If possible, with a co-trainer stand by
Adjust volume so learners can hear comfortably
(make sure the monitor or projection are visible to every positioned trainees)
19. Provide learners with a verbal introduction to the
video (be brief, clear and short)
Purpose, and overview of the story, key points to
pay attention to, how the content relates to the
training
Dim lights or turn lights off prior to starting the
show (ensure that learners can still take notes and see their materials)
20. Watch the show (to demonstrate your interest in the content and to
serve as a role model)
Take notes during the show (ditto)
Make adjustments as necessary (lighting, sound levels,
“tracking” of the video)
21. Observe learners (to gauge comprehension, interest, and attention
levels)
Pause the tape as appropriate (to reinforce key points, ask
questions, stimulate interest, interject comments)
Be careful when leaving the room (may convey a lack of
interest or lack of importance to the learners, behavior problems may arise,
exiting and reentry may distract learner’s attention from the video)
22. Position yourself near the PC or Projector so that
the show can be stopped at the appropriate
moment (to gauge comprehension, interest, and attention levels)
Turn the lights back on or remove the dimmer
(may be helpful to warn learners to shield their eyes)
23. Conduct a debrief session with learners (to reinforce
key points, provide clarification, ask and answer questions)
Conduct certain exercises (make sure the exercises be fun,
short, simple and related to the content)
Provide a seamless transition into next training

29. Description of PDCA Cycle
P = PLAN
• Define a problem or opportunity.
• Analyze the situation. Study and define the problem;
brainstorm for causes and corrective actions; and think
creatively to determine the best approach and best
possible corrective action.
• Develop an implementation plan.
30. Description of PDCA Cycle
D = DO
• Implement corrective action.
• Document the procedures and observations.
• Use data-gathering tools to collect information.
31. Description of PDCA Cycle
C = CHECK
• Analyze information.
• Monitor trends.
• Compare obtained results against expected results from
the plan.
32. Description of PDCA Cycle
A = ACT
• If the results are as expected, do nothing.
• If the results are not as expected, repeat the
plan/do/check/act cycle.
• Document the process and the revised plan.
43. Make sure the clips or movies are strategically
link to the message you wish to convey
Emphasize the clip and behaviors of the
performers but the whole story background
Sharpen your eyes, sharpen your mind, be alert
to every possible movie and video resources
44. If possible, the video should not be present
to the audiences in the afternoon.
A video will not last for more than 40 minutes
maximum (if exceed the limit, trainer should split up the whole video into
segments or a number of clips)
Switch your roles among trainer, director,
playwright and actors/actress
