Padlet can be used as a tool for engaging participants of Cochrane training. E.g. by inviting them before the training to share their questions or expectations.

Hemingway app - You paste your text into it, and it tells you exactly where it's hard to read. Useful for preparing learning materials in English.

When you’re designing your training activities and materials, you should start by defining the learning objectives. But how to do that? Which words to use? David DiBiase created this useful summary that pairs Bloom's Taxonomy with suggested action verbs to be used as an aid for writing learning objectives.

Sometimes you want to share a text and ask the learners to read it before the training event – but how to make them do so? You can cross out all the irrelevant/ unnecessary sentences – that will increase the interest for reading (‘Why it was crossed out? – I should check it!’). Besides, the text will be shorter (and less daunting) for reading.
Possible application: articles used in critical appraisal exercises.

Position the tables in the classroom in U-shape. This will allow learners to see each other and will foster interaction. If the group is new, participants' names should be displayed on the table.

How to begin the second day of your two-day workshop? Of course, by repetition, which is ‘the mother of learning’. At the beginning of the session, ask participants to name the key terms/ideas they remember from yesterday and write them down on the flipchart paper – until the whole paper is covered. Use moderately sized letters and be persistent – don’t give up the exercise before the paper is full. Then ask if there is any term/idea that someone doesn’t understand and if there is – ask who from the participants can explain it. Try to get the explanation from participants before providing any explanation yourself.

How to deal with a heterogeneous group of learners? Separate experienced/knowledgeable from unexperienced/less knowledgeable and foster interaction within the subgroups. If appropriate, give different tasks for each subgroup or an additional task for experienced (to keep their interest and engagement). Remember that repetition is especially important for new/unexperienced learners and transfer (how to apply the knowledge in one’s own practice) for experienced learners.

One of my attempts towards training was this video.
I think short and sweet videos can be useful.

Blogshots - could these be used to capture key learning points from sessions, circulated by social media afterwards to participants, by way embedding learning?
