Training Placemats CD
21 templates for training-focused, constructive doodling
Training placemats offer learners a novel way of keeping focused on the subject. They promote the concept of ‘constructive doodling’, whereby learners can benefit by noting and drawing, especially in different colours, as part of the learning process.
Other learners will benefit simply from having the placemat in front of them, reminding them of key ideas and concepts.
Delegates using Training Placemats will:
- Benefit from peripheral messages – each time they look down they will see key points and concepts which help reinforce the learning.
- Harness the unoccupied part of their mind through ‘constructive doodling’, for example by writing in key words, highlighting parts of their placemat, underlining concepts.
- Accelerate their learning by using colour and drawings on their placemats.
- Get an overview of a topic at all times as key messages are summarised on the one page.
- Personalise their learning by writing in notes and ideas.
- Have a post-training aide-memoire
The Training Placemats can be used in a variety of ways. Each of the 21 templates features a different topic - change, team working, communication skills etc with the key ideas and concepts on the placemats. Each image on the placemat can be used flexibly as well - for example the plant on the team working placemat could refer to the Belbin roles if you are using them, or to nurturing and developing a team - no doubt you can come up with other ideas!
Just print them from the CD-ROM and hand out at the start of a training session. You can use them in a structured way – referring back to them during the session, or less formally, enabling each delegate to annotate as they wish. However you use them you will find them an invaluable way of accelerating the learning and retention for your delegates – and they make the learning fun!
This CD-ROM product contains a User Guide and 21 templates covering team working, negotiation, leadership, feedback plus others. There is also a blank template for you to use as you like. Each template can be customised with the course details. All you have to do is supply coloured pens or crayons and let their creativity run wild!
The CD-ROM contains the templates as a Microsoft Word® document and as an Adobe Acrobat® .pdf file.
