Training
Manual
Each group is
required to design a one-day workshop. The theme must be approved by the
subject lecturer within the first three weeks of the semester. The Training
Manual should include timetable, site arrangement, session plans, trainer’s
notes, handouts and power point diskette or CD-ROM.
Moreover, the
forms for the needs assessment and evaluation should be attached. The
training brochure, certificate, list of reference materials and at least two
cue cards should also be included.
The oral
presentation will be divided into two parts. The first part will be around
15 minutes, highlighting the design rationale and special features in the
workshop. The first part aims to persuade the target company to accept your
training proposal. The second part will be around 5 minutes, explaining the
problems encountered, solutions found and suggested areas for improvement.
The second part aims to share your experience with the other class members.
