1. Brainstorming: Applying Learner Retention Strategies

2. Learning Outcome: To be able to design learning solutions which incorporate improved learner retention strategies

3. Modes of Delivery 1.Online (asynchronous) course 2.Synchronous course 3.Classroom 4.Blended

4. Learner Retention Strategies Pre-course reading Flipped classroom Times for reflection during class Quizzes and feedback Interleaving topics Post-course reflection (e.g., webinars) Booster questions. PRE – Course During Course POST- Course

5. COMET Module: Principles of Convection > Online course

6. Topics Buoyancy Thermodynamic Diagram Metrics Lifted Index CAPE The Wmax Equation Effects of Entrainment and Water Loading – updraft strength mid level drying Convective Inhibition (CIN) Overcoming CIN by surface heating Overcoming CIN by Moistening Overcoming CIN by Synoptic-scale Ascent Downdraft Strength: Importance and Contributions – Cold Pool Strength

7. Application Break out into 4 groups for each of the Modes of Delivery Rate effectiveness of each Learner Retention strategy in the context of the example given (or other) –How does the Mode of Delivery impact potential value of Learner Retention strategy?

8. How would you move forward in incorporating these strategies in your next training activity? How would you measure success?
