Training from the Back of the Room - Virtual Edition

---

As one of the creators of the Training from the Back of the Room Virtual Edition, I would like to start by sharing the story that brought it to life.  

In mid 2020, all onsite in-person training and education was disrupted in a way we couldn't have seen coming.  There was an immediate need to adapt learning to become 100% virtual.  That is when I joined Sharon Bowman and 10 more Certified TBR trainers on a journey to create a virtual edition of the 2-day in-person training.  It was one of the most fulfilling experiences, filled with community and learning that resulted in this 5-day virtual offering.  

Description:

In this highly interactive course, you’ll discover how the brain really learns and how to design virtual training that keeps participants engaged, energized, and actively involved. We’ll share dozens of interactive strategies that will transform the way you train, teach, facilitate, or coach—across any topic or audience.

Over five dynamic sessions spread across two weeks, we’ll explore six brain-based learning principles and experience powerful techniques you can apply immediately. Through hands-on activities and real-world application, you’ll build a training plan using the 4C’s Map, a proven instructional design model. 

Join us for a learning journey that will transform the way you teach, train, and facilitate—bringing your sessions to life in ways that truly connect with your audience.

Learning Outcomes: 

1. Learn how to keep the participants engaged and be interactive throughout the session to keep the energy flowing and learning happening. 

2. Apply six learning principles based on current brain research every time you deliver VIRTUAL training, regardless of the complexity of the topic, size of group, or level of learners. 

3. Use the 4Cs Map as a training design and delivery model for brain- based VIRTUAL instruction. 

4. Create virtual training sessions that combine your own topic and materials with the brain-based virtual learning concepts and strategies from the class and demonstrate how to leverage the strengths of VIRTUAL learning environments. 

5. Explain to colleagues your understanding of cognitive science as it applies to learning, training and memory in both VIRTUAL and face-to- face environments. 

6. Choose from dozens of VIRTUAL brain-based learning activities for all topics. 

7. Become an active member of the TBR-VE Class Group on Slack, a community that collaborates and encourages its members to be the best that they can be!
