2.2. Course of the training
Course of the training - example of an online setting
A growing number of work-based training approaches nowadays blend face-to-face settings with online trainings (as discussed before).
While we assume that you know the how to develop a face-to-face setting we will now have a closer look on the arrangements and possibilities of online settings (such as webinars). Some of you may have more experience in this area, some maybe less.
You will find below a course of an online training setting, to learn about phases and methods (Source: Kerres, Michael (2004): "Online- und Präsenzelemente in Lernarrangements kombinieren". In: Hohenstein & Wilbers, 4.5).
But let’s have a critical look on an example, set up by a trainer in the area of adult education:

Activity: Now, what is your opinion on that course of the training?
Is it complete? Is something missing? What is your opinion on the proposed phases of this setting? Would you arrange is similar or completely different? And why?
Discuss it in teams of two to four people.
Aim: to critically deal with a standard example and make first derivations for your own course of the training.
