Workshop Outline Feedback

Excellent step-by-step approach to your topic. Very good learning objectives, but I suggest

you also need to state the overall goal of your workshop.

From your current timeline it is hard to exactly quantify the number of minutes which can

be counted towards experiential interactive learning for your participants. Remember the minimum is 25% of your allotted teaching time, i.e. 90 min. in various activities and

exercises where the workshop participants are working.

Your agenda should show which group members (primary and secondary) are responsible

for each section.

In the resources section you may consider also including backup AV equipment, Plan B.

Your group work plan has good variety of communication media and frequency of contacts.

Please also indicate when your group charter will be completed and the groups internal work plan timeline and how you are sharing your tasks.

Your references are appropriate, you should ensure you have the most recent edition of

Kern etc.
