This a simple and effective guide to getting the most out of your learning programs. Using Promote correctly will allow you to provide timely, relevant feedback to your participants throughout their Learning Journey. Enabling you to build a positive environment both in and outside the classroom, helping you to identify barriers preventing your participants from learning as well as capturing their success stories.
Get to know your participants
Introducing yourself to your participants before the learning event.
Action: Log on to Promote and post a comment in the comment field that welcomes everybody (see templates for examples)
Timing: As soon as you receive an invitation to Promote
Interact with your participants
Encouraging social learning with and amongst your participants.
Action:
- Log on to Promote; read through all participant comments.
- Respond to at least 2 participant comments and use “like” for all other comments
- Check “Instructor view,” to monitor participant progress. If needed, use the comment field to remind all regarding pre-assignments. (See templates for example)
Timing: No later than 1-2 days before each learning event
Bring Promote into the classroom
Creating a seamless user experience throughout the learning journey.
Action:

Emphasise the learning journey
Bridging the gap between learning and doing.
