By definition, workshops are active. Workshops have precise learning outcomes, for example:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Participants will learn when and how to file their personal income tax returns<\/li>\n \t<li>Participants will learn how to understand their pay stubs<\/li>\n \t<li>Participants will learn ways to meet find the hidden job market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nParticipants are guided by the workshop leader(s), and participate in activities that help them accomplish the learning outcomes.\n<h3>What a Workshop is Not<\/h3>\nA workshop is NOT a lecture or PowerPoint presentation. Although workshop leaders may use slides or video for specific reasons\u2014to give instructions or illustrate a concept, for example\u2014there is no lecturing. The participants are active for most of the workshop.\n\nWorkshops are typically low-judgment events. What participants learn is more important than what they create. Participants might share their results, and you may want to discuss their meaning or process. But don't critique the creativity or craftsmanship\u2014it's important to create safe spaces where participants feel free to brainstorm and create. Participants must feel respected; not shamed, embarrassed or judged. An imperfect result that helped a participant learn is better than a perfect result that involved no creativity or experimentation. Workshop leaders must be emotionally intelligent, supportive, and skilled at giving effective feedback.\n<h3>What Activities are Appropriate?<\/h3>\nEffective activities keep participants' interest while they learn. We learn more and remember it longer if we're engaged and interested in what we're learning. Effective activities typically produce things that participants can keep. These things help remind participants of what they learned, and can keep participants thinking about it longer.\n\nYou can find lots of workshop activities online. Depending on your topic and learning outcomes, you may prefer group or individual activities. Choose activities that match your participants' comfort level. For example:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Don't ask adults in a professional setting to touch each other,\u00a0remove clothing, share personal information, take undignified postures or embarrass themselves<\/li>\n \t<li>Participants may not want to be blindfolded, especially if it will smudge their makeup<\/li>\n \t<li>Participants may not want things on their head, due to hygiene and hairstyling concerns<\/li>\n \t<li>Be sensitive to hidden disabilities and fears (including strong odours, loud noises and strobe lights)<\/li>\n \t<li>Include activities that are fun and creative, but have a practical connection to what participants are learning. If there's no connection, participants may accuse you of wasting their time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nChoose activities that can be explained quickly and easily:\n<ol>\n \t<li>Give a very quick introduction to the activity and how it\u00a0relates to what they're learning<\/li>\n \t<li>Describe the goal: what participants will do or make<\/li>\n \t<li>Explain how to do it, demonstrating or using clear visuals<\/li>\n \t<li>Announce the time limit<\/li>\n \t<li>Set a timer that all participants can see<\/li>\n \t<li>Circulate among participants, encouraging and helping them<\/li>\n \t<li>When time is up, clearly announce that time is up<\/li>\n \t<li>Move on to the next agenda item (probably a discussion or reflection of what they did\/made, their process, and what they learned)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;background-color: #333333\">\u00a0Learning Activity\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<em>You can do this activity alone, but it\u2019s more fun and educational in teams of 3-4 people.<\/em>\n\nReview this chapter and answer the questions. After your team has answered the questions (your instructor will probably give you a time limit of 5-10 minutes) share your answers with the class.\n<h3>Questions<\/h3>\n<code>[h5p id=\"10\"]<\/code>\n<h3>Questions for Reflection:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n \t<li>What's the benefit of having multiple teams answer the same question?<\/li>\n \t<li>What's the benefit of answering questions about content you just read?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[h5p id=\"7\"]\n\n&nbsp;\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">The 5 Ws For Evaluating Resources<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\n\n<strong>Who<\/strong>\n<h4>Who wrote this?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Are they an expert, researcher, journalist, blogger, academic?<\/li>\n \t<li>Do they have relevant degrees or experience?<\/li>\n \t<li>Are they connected to an institution?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Who\u2019s the publisher?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Are they reputable?<\/li>\n \t<li>Why did they publish this?<\/li>\n \t<li>Do they maintain\/update this?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>What<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li>What type of source is this?

By definition, workshops are active. Workshops have precise learning outcomes, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Participants will learn when and how to file their personal income tax returns<\/li>\n<li>Participants will learn how to understand their pay stubs<\/li>\n<li>Participants will learn ways to meet find the hidden job market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Participants are guided by the workshop leader(s), and participate in activities that help them accomplish the learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<h3>What a Workshop is Not<\/h3>\n<p>A workshop is NOT a lecture or PowerPoint presentation. Although workshop leaders may use slides or video for specific reasons\u2014to give instructions or illustrate a concept, for example\u2014there is no lecturing. The participants are active for most of the workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Workshops are typically low-judgment events. What participants learn is more important than what they create. Participants might share their results, and you may want to discuss their meaning or process. But don&#8217;t critique the creativity or craftsmanship\u2014it&#8217;s important to create safe spaces where participants feel free to brainstorm and create. Participants must feel respected; not shamed, embarrassed or judged. An imperfect result that helped a participant learn is better than a perfect result that involved no creativity or experimentation. Workshop leaders must be emotionally intelligent, supportive, and skilled at giving effective feedback.<\/p>\n<h3>What Activities are Appropriate?<\/h3>\n<p>Effective activities keep participants&#8217; interest while they learn. We learn more and remember it longer if we&#8217;re engaged and interested in what we&#8217;re learning. Effective activities typically produce things that participants can keep. These things help remind participants of what they learned, and can keep participants thinking about it longer.<\/p>\n<p>You can find lots of workshop activities online. Depending on your topic and learning outcomes, you may prefer group or individual activities. Choose activities that match your participants&#8217; comfort level. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t ask adults in a professional setting to touch each other,\u00a0remove clothing, share personal information, take undignified postures or embarrass themselves<\/li>\n<li>Participants may not want to be blindfolded, especially if it will smudge their makeup<\/li>\n<li>Participants may not want things on their head, due to hygiene and hairstyling concerns<\/li>\n<li>Be sensitive to hidden disabilities and fears (including strong odours, loud noises and strobe lights)<\/li>\n<li>Include activities that are fun and creative, but have a practical connection to what participants are learning. If there&#8217;s no connection, participants may accuse you of wasting their time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Choose activities that can be explained quickly and easily:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Give a very quick introduction to the activity and how it\u00a0relates to what they&#8217;re learning<\/li>\n<li>Describe the goal: what participants will do or make<\/li>\n<li>Explain how to do it, demonstrating or using clear visuals<\/li>\n<li>Announce the time limit<\/li>\n<li>Set a timer that all participants can see<\/li>\n<li>Circulate among participants, encouraging and helping them<\/li>\n<li>When time is up, clearly announce that time is up<\/li>\n<li>Move on to the next agenda item (probably a discussion or reflection of what they did\/made, their process, and what they learned)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;background-color: #333333\">\u00a0Learning Activity\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em>You can do this activity alone, but it\u2019s more fun and educational in teams of 3-4 people.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Review this chapter and answer the questions.

Participate in Class: <\/strong>Active learning depends heavily on participation. Participating lets you test what you&#8217;re learning\u2014what you understand and how well you remember it.

Study Frequently<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a study schedule plan<\/li>\n<li>DON\u2019T wait until the night before. It\u2019s ineffective, stressful and tiring.
