The new, fully updated edition of Using Activities in Training and Development looks at the range of activities now available – what they are, how to use them, why and when to use them, and what supportive activities are required.

Activities are now recognised as an important element of many training and educational programmes, offering the learner the opportunity to become an active participant in the learning process and helping even the shyest people to become effective group members.

The first half of the book deals with the features common to all activities. Part Two considers the variations required in using specific sorts of activities, while a detailed appendix provides a useful listing of the activities available from a variety of sources. The author, Leslie Rae, brings a great deal of training experience to his examination of the topic, addressing areas such as:

• •

  finding training activities over the Internet;

• •

  one-to-one and group activity observation;

• •

  activity analysis;

• •

  icebreakers, energisers and session shakers, buzz groups;

• •

  case studies and simulations.
