Creative Training Techniques Newsletter

Making your computer based training interactive can be pretty easy with the plethora of websites out there with free software to help you create games, visuals or other mental activities. One method of getting your audience engaged is an intranet hunt.

Create a worksheet with questions about your company, the company mission, their role and so on. Have learners work alone or together to search for the answers on either the internet or the company intranet.

You can create “clue” cards if a team gets stuck. For example, using the idea of phone a friend, they can ask a group in the class that has already found the answer, free pass where you give them the link, etc. The following link is an example of an internet hunt: http://bit.ly/cbthunt. This version gives searchers the links to go to and then asks for answers from information on those sites.
