Your Resources
When planning for training consider the
following:
What facilities do you have for training?
What equipment? Projector? How many
computers? With Internet connection?
Enough for hands-on work? If not, how can
you make training interactive?
What level of Internet and computer skills do
your users have?

Tips for Successful Training

Prepare beforehand
Check the venue
Facilitate learning
Introduce training and participants
Handle questions and discussion
Troubleshoot
Keep participants focused
Ask open questions
Summarize and evaluate
Make improvements for future training

Preparation
Do background reading and get hands-on
experience
Read presentation notes and annotate for
yourself
Dont have to be expert; OK to say I dont
know and research/ask HINARI (
hinari@who.int)
Remember your own workshop experiences What did and didnt work?

Preparation continued
Do the computer exercises and identify any
problems
Get list of attendees and information on their skill
levels if possible
Get contact details for venue and organizers if offsite
Print out handouts and workbooks or put material
on a CD
Send material electronically in advance such as
the HINARI Sort Course

Check the Venue


Arrive early
Know support staff and their contact information
and learn the layout if new venue
Set up and check computers and other
equipment
Practice exercises again
Get computer log ins and bookmark web
resources; possibly put exercises on Desktop
Organize materials

Facilitators Role
To create conditions in which learning can
naturally take place
Encourage active learning - student
discussion and cooperative, hands-on
activities
Minimize passive listening and note taking
Be responsive to needs and interests of
group

Facilitators Role continued


Dont talk to/read from screen
Make eye contact and try for
conversational style
Encourage, listen and positively respond
to participants comments, questions and
feedback
Listen to discussions but dont interrupt;
remember comments and questions for
group discussion

Getting Started
Introduce yourself
Tell participants what will be covered and
what they will gain
Explain the timetable and the activities
Point out the location of facilities (food,
bathrooms, etc.)
Find out what people already know and
what they are interested in learning
Make them feel at ease

Questions and Discussions


Use peoples names when addressing them
Tell people when you want them to ask
questions (during or at end of presentation)
Explain that questions increase learning for
whole group
Be enthusiastic and encouraging to all
responses

Keeping Focus
Listen to groups
Clarify questions for individuals or group
If unrelated discussion or web browsing,
ask how participants doing and what
conclusions theyve reached
If questions are off-topic, save for breaks
or after workshop
Assistant facilitators can help

When Things Go Wrong


Overtime keep your eye on the clock
Broken projector call technician and give
the group an activity
Slow/no web connection call technician,
continue lectures or review activities in
workbook as a group
Difficult participants if the questions are
distracting, deal with them during a break

Changes for Next Time


Reflect on problems and successes
Look for trends in feedback
Make notes on changes to be made to
slides, exercises, handouts
Share notes with other facilitators and
HINARI (hinari@who.int)
Make changes immediately before you
forget or run out of time
Ask about what you did not understand

Closure and Evaluation


Conclude activities with summary
Provide overall picture
Ask open-ended questions instead of Do
you understand?
Ask participants to reflect on their learning
Be positive about achievements
Hand out feedback forms
