Using Media to Make Training Memorable
Let’s explore how to harness the power of familiar entertainment - from music and film clips to gameshow formats - to make learning memorable and engaging. You’ll uncover practical ways to weave these techniques into your training without turning your training into a performance.
Through hands-on experimentation and real-world examples, you’ll leave with ready-to-use approaches that help learners focus, recall, and apply key content long after their workshop ends.
Expect to play, create, and experiment - all in the name of making learning stick.
Expect to leave with (but not limited to) …

Discover simple gameshow-style activities that reinforce content, encourage participation, and make review fun. You’ll co-create short, interactive exercises ready for your own workshops.
