7.1 Educational alternatives

This course was designed so that it makes use of the following educational alternatives:
• Deduction: Using anecdotes and examples, the training presents use cases
before the concepts have even been covered. The students deduct the
learning from their own analysis. The topic and its concepts are presented
afterwards to demonstrate how theory applies to what was deducted.
• Questioning: Asking questions forces participants to stop and think about
different variables. It also enables the participants to put the newly
acquired knowledge to the test. Quizzes have been incorporated as part of
the training to make sure that the concepts are well understood by the
participants
• Demonstrating: Some use cases have been incorporated to the
training AFTER the concepts. These serve to explain a cause and effect
relationship using the newly acquired knowledge.
