Delivery Methodology

Our team chose group presentation method because it allows the instructor to tell, shows, demonstrates, dramatizes, and allows the audience to be independent in their thinking. This type of setting can be used in various types of environments such as classroom, auditoriums and board rooms. It allows the trainer or lecturer to integrate media tools that can meet the needs of the learners. We will be using numerous types of medias; Power-point slides, Blogging, Podcasts and Skype as tools to demonstrate to the audience on how technology functions. Our second choice is a small group format because it allows the instructor to teach or learn the format and able to work in small groups of 2 or more to have discussion about the subject being taught by the instructor. This is a great format for the audience to decipher the information and to enhance their communication skills. Both of these methods are similar in structure and will allow the audience to meet the objectives and goals. They both allow the audience to interact, student -focused and to communicate with each. This allows the students to discuss what they learned and provide feed-back to determine how much they understood from the lecture.

The strengths of using a group presentation the format is familiar to the lecturer and the students. It is easy to design because the lecturer is has an idea on what materials is needed, and what information to present. It allows the SME (Subject Matter Expert) and the Instructional Designer to work together to determine the objectives and goals for the audience as well as strategize how it will be demonstrated. In this format control is necessary; this format allows the lecture take control of the class. One of the main strengths of a presentation it allows complete control to make changes when necessary. Some of the disadvantages are the environment can be a tedious, audience tend to get bored to listening, watching and taking notes. It doesn’t always allow the audience to be interactive throughout the presentation, and questions are usually introduced at the end of the presentation. This method will be effective only if the lecturer has an inviting or interesting personality to teach this type of format.

Some of the strengths of using a small-group it allow the audience to be independent thinkers and interact with others in the classroom. Working together in a small group allows for students to discuss the problem and work together on solving it based on sharing their ideas. This allows the audience to integrate with self-knowledge such as sharing life experiences and learning from others experiences as well. This also allows the instructor to determine whether the audience had a clear understanding on the topic and determine the learning gaps. This also promotes life skills and active learning for everyone. Some of the negatives are it does not allow enough time for the audience to complete their assignments due activities of the training or lecture. The environment has to be determined before planning the training to allow the audience to be interactive and participate in the activities and the space availability has to be considered for the size of the audience.
