3.6. Eliciting the Performance

homeworkFor this event, eliciting the performance, you give students practice activities to perform on their own. Like providing learning guidance, this event is not always feasible given the short duration of a webinar.

However, there are short activities you can do to let participants practice their newly acquired knowledge. These activities typically fall in the Remember and Understand categories of Bloom's taxonomy. These are ideally suited to the use of interactive webinar tools.

Methods for eliciting the performance include:

  • Asking a question (using poll or chat) to check for understanding.
  • Conducting a short hands-on activity and asking students to use the hand-raising emoticon when they are finished.
