Background Information
Background information should provide the participants with relevant information about the topic to be studied. Background information can include research studies, records of historical events, statistics, case studies, interviews, etc. Background information can provide context for the topic and help participants evaluate and organize new information.
Instructor-Led Training
In preparation for the course, gather industry references, professional articles, research studies, or other resources that can provide additional details and context for interested participants. Make copies of the background information and lay them out on a resources table for participants to either peruse or—if you have enough copies—take home to read.
Web Conference Training
In preparation for the course, gather industry references, professional articles, research studies, or other resources that can provide additional details and context for interested participants. Upload a resources list with publication and document titles and links to the File Share Pod. At appropriate times during the course, mention a document or publication listed in the File Share Pod that might interest participants. If a participant suggests another document, allow them to share it using the Web Share Pod.
