Increase your learner's content retention with handouts in ShowTime

Increase your learner's content retention with handouts in ShowTime

In the field of teaching and training, it's important to make sure your learners are adequately equipped for their tasks, such as having the necessary prior knowledge, and motivation to follow the lesson. Smart use of supplementary handouts can compensate for lack of preparedness without spoon-feeding.

Useful handouts often provide an outline of the lecture to help learners follow it more easily and allow them to concentrate on listening and processing the information. These offline materials can offer additional information learners may find difficult or impossible to obtain elsewhere, questions and tasks that will encourage learners to reflect on their learning, or even a supplementary reading lists to aid knowledge retention.
 
ShowTime helps you increase your learner's content retention by making it easy to share handouts for your training sessions. You can upload video and document materials from your computer, choose from your ShowTime library, or add the file's link.



Once a handout or other supplementary material is added, you can choose one of the following three ways to make it available:
 
1. Once the trainee registers: As soon as the trainee registers for your training course, these materials will be available on the registration page. To use this option, please make sure you enable registration for that session. 



2. Once your session begins: The handout will be available under the Handouts tab once the training begins.

 
3. Once the session ends: The handout will be shared as a downloadable file with the "Thank you" email sent after the training ends. To use this option, please make sure you enable this "Thank you email" setting for this session. 
 
Handouts and supplementary materials can serve as study guides, contain summaries and highlights of key points covered in class and help your training courses make a bigger impact. If you have any questions or feedback about this new feature, just leave a response. You can also write to us at support@zohoshowtime.com.

      • Measure your audience response - The ShowTime Way.

        Raising one's hand was the ancient style of getting people to acknowledge a speaker. People clapped to show their appreciation and booed to show their disapproval since the Roman times. Even today, in many senates and parliaments 'yays' and 'nays' are registered verbally. But, how can one genuinely measure audience response? The solution was in the form of an Audience Response System (ARS). An ARS is a tool that is used to connect speakers to their participants. This helped in measuring audience
