At this year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference, I’m thrilled to be doing a panel on nonprofit technology training and it has a bit of a star wars theme, “ Learn You Will.” John Kenyon and I wrote guest posts on the NTEN blog that will give you a flavor of what the session is about. By Dave Meier.

Note from Beth: At this year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference, I was lucky to co-design and facilitate a session on technology training with colleagues John Kenyon, Cindy Leonard and Jeanne Allen. Cindy and Jeanne wrote this great reflection of what we learned and how we facilitated this very interactive session.

Designing and facilitating training (not matter the topic) is one of my passions and why I blog about it on a regular basis. I also love sharing techniques and tips with other trainers and often do “train the trainers” sessions as part of my practice. Of course the training room has to accommodate this.)

If you deliver training on webinar platforms, you need to understand how people learn. Last week, I was an instructor for NTEN’s Technology Leadership Academy for a session on Nonprofit Technology ROI Methods. The content is important, but it is only half of the instructional design task. It was delivered in two sessions.

I’m also trying to shift my own practice into more design and train the trainers and coach the coaches versus direct delivery. This environment can be a training workshop or it can be in an organization. It’s hard because you have to be very disciplined about noticing and documenting your practice. How do you do this?
