| == Where and when ==
| |
| The workshop will take place on the Saturday and Sunday of '''1—2 November 2014''' right after [[EduWiki Conference 2014|EduWiki Conference]] at St Leonard's Hall in '''Edinburgh'''. Located in the grounds of {{w|Pollock Halls of Residence}}, St Leonard's Hall is a stately mid-nineteenth century mansion owned by the University of Edinburgh, and also the venue of Wikimedia UK's EduWiki Conference this year. Delivered by professional consultants, this session is targeted at volunteers in Scotland. The workshop will be delivered in English.

|
| The timings of the event are: '''Saturday 9:30am — 6:30pm, Sunday 9am — 5pm.''' Light breakfast and lunch will be provided; we are also planning a social dinner after the training on Saturday. It is vital that you do not miss the start of the training session, so before confirming your availability please do make sure you can make the start time of the training. We are able to cover travel and accommodation, including if you need to travel on Friday - an advance notice will be appreciated.

| | |
| The event is open to Wikimedia UK volunteers who can make a credible commitment to support training in future: it will be a strong advantage to have already been involved in other training events. If your interest is in training people to contribute to a sister project such as Commons or Wikidata, rather than to Wikipedia, that's no disadvantage.
| |
| | |
| == Aims == | |
| The workshop is a chance for you to:
| |
| * Share your skills with others
| |
| * Get accredited and receive detailed feedback about your presenting and training skills
| |
| * Get general trainer skills that you can then apply when delivering specific Wikimedia workshops
| |
| * Develop the ability to help design a training programme that serves Wikimedia UK in the long term
| |
| | |
| Places are limited to make sure that each participant gets individual attention and feedback, so please sign up to express your interest.
| |
| | |
| == Course details ==
| |
| The course focuses on enabling the participants to develop and deliver high quality training which draws on their own skills and expertise. You can then apply these skills whenever you run a training session. Note that this is about training, not presenting, so we will not be focusing on developing content of presentations on e.g. Wikipedia.
| |
| | |
| By the end of the course the participants will be able to:
| |
| * Set training objectives and structure a session with appropriate material to meet those objectives
| |
| * Present information clearly to different audiences and use visual aids effectively
| |
| * Identify ways to make the sessions interactive and participative and deal with questions
| |
| | |
| As a part of the course you will also be receiving an hour long 1-1 telephone feedback. This provides the opportunity to discuss your performance and reactions to the course privately. It promotes intense reflection and rounded learning.
| |
| | |
| The participants will also be able to:
| |
| * Recognise the importance of diversity in the training context
| |
| * Respond appropriately to the needs of volunteer trainers
| |
| * Understand the impact of different learning and communication styles when designing and delivering training
| |
| * Use active listening to guide their interaction with participants
| |
| * Give effective and appropriate feedback to other participants
| |
| | |
| == Facilities ==
| |
| The training will take place in a room arranged in a classroom layout. There will be two flipcharts with pens, a screen, and a projector will be in the room. Refreshments will be provided. There will be free WiFi.
