About the Workshop
This workshop is designed with the professional ETD Practitioner in mind. It takes Gray Training’s insight into professional graphics presentations and lays it out into a two-day knock-your-socks-off learning experience. It slots neatly into the materials design portfolio since it enhances skills learnt on these workshops. It is also an ideal supplement for the facilitator who needs to develop additional aids and materials for use in the classroom.
You’ll exit this valuable training programme with the skills to:
•
Use shapes and colour to help your learners learn
•
Use graphics, cartoons and icons for key terms to ensure retention
•
Open doors to your creative side.
This dynamic workshop will give you the time to select appropriate training
materials and the opportunity to adapt and modify training materials according
to the specific needs of your group. You’ll develop the expertise to
design clear, relevant illustrations and text. And finally – you’ll
leave with the skills to improve upon existing materials and lessons in your
workplace.
