Training Needs Analysis forms for use in Computer Training

(0)
These forms cover Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook as well as a basic users form. When planning computer training it is essential to have an idea of the skill level of participants. You can hand out or email these forms to learners before or during a session. They simply fill them out and return them. You can then use the information to split up groups into appropriate skill levels or just for general content planning for the session. I have also included a Feedback form that can be used to hand out after the session. They are in Word format so that you can easily remove or add any of the skills. I have used these for corporate groups and community groups successfully.

Group Feedback Activity - Delivering a Presentation

In this interactive activity you display the Powerpoint provided and learners review and take notes to identify areas of improvement. As the facilitator, you explain that Charlie Brown has just created a presentation and welcomes feedback before delivering to an audience. Tell students that they will be giving feedback at the end of the presentation. There job is to look at each slide and identify areas for improvement. Ask them to write notes as they go for feedback at the end of the presentation. This is an extremely useful activity that gets learners thinking about visual aspects of their own presentations. Each side has notes for the trainer to indicate the errors on the slide. I have used this with many learners. It is an effective activity and generates a lot of good discussion.
