Description:
Sharon Bowman’s “Training from the Back of the Room” (TBR) has become a mainstay for classroom-based course design and has become increasingly popular with Agile trainers. Sharon’s brain-science based approaches result in higher engagement, longer retention and more effective learning events. However, with the movement towards remote learning, there is a risk that some of these highly interactive techniques will become muted in distributed audiences. Those who attend this workshop will not fall victim to this fate! In this interactive workshop we will show how to take the great ideas that Sharon has given the community and apply them for designing remote learning to be as engaging as in-person events. Shannon is a TBR Certified Trainers and has extensive experience designing and delivering classes for both in-person and remote agile learning.
