Rapid Design Assignment 1: Reuse an Interactive Lecture Frame

Here is one of the important RRID principles:

Save the activity; change the content.

You can recycle the frame (or the structure) of a training activity to incorporate new content.

In Module 1, you experienced an interactive lecture activity called Mixed-Up Sentences. In this assignment, you will use the frame of this activity to quickly design a training exercise on your own topic.

Review

• Read the article, Mixed-Up Sentences.
• Review Sample Mixed-Up Sentences from previous participants.

Prepare

1. Think of a brief presentation you want to make in your training session.
2. Prepare an outline for this presentation in the form of six or seven summary sentences related to the key points in your presentation.
3. Underline one of the sentences that you would leave out for the activity.
4. Add a fake sentence that sounds like it belongs to your presentation but you are not going to talk about it.
5. Scramble these sentences, remove the underlined sentence, and include the fake sentence in a random location.

Submit

Send your list of scrambled sentences in an email to thiagi@thiagi.com. Put Rapid Design Assignment 1 as the subject line.

Follow-up

Conduct an interactive lecture activity using the list of sentences you created and the Mixed-Up Sentences technique.
