Additionally, intertwining practical activities with theoretical concepts is a
key strategy for creating a dynamic and captivating learning experience in
digital education training. To achieve this balance in drafting your training session

using the Activity Kit, consider the following elements:

1. Identify Learning Objectives: Clearly choose the learning goals you wish
your learners to achieve through each session. Understand the key
theoretical concepts that participants need to grasp.

2. Select Appropriate Practical Activities: Choose practical activities that
directly relate to the theoretical content and the level of your learners.

Ensure that practical activities seamlessly integrate
3. Seamless Integration:
with the theoretical content. Activities should not feel like isolated exercises
but rather extensions of the concepts being discussed.
4. Link Practical Insights to Theory: During and after each activity, explicitly

connect the practical insights gained with the underlying theoretical
frameworks. Help participants see the direct relevance and application of
what they are learning.
5. Encourage Reflection: Build reflective components into the sessions. After
completing a hands-on task, prompt participants to reflect on what they
learnt and how it connects to the theoretical knowledge presented.

6. Promote Active Participation and Create a Collaborative Environment:
Design sessions and apply teaching methodologies that encourage active
participation. Foster collaboration among participants during practical
activities so that individuals can learn from each other's perspectives and

experiences.
7. Offer Ongoing Support: Provide support and guidance as participants
engage in practical activities. Address questions, offer feedback, and create
an environment where learners feel comfortable exploring and applying
new concepts.

8. Adapt to Participants’ Pace: Be flexible in adapting the pace of practical
activities based on participants' understanding. Allow for additional
exploration if certain concepts require more attention.
9. Assess Understanding Through Activities: Use the practical activities as
opportunities for formative assessment. Observe how participants apply

theoretical concepts in their hands-on tasks and provide constructive
feedback.
