What is it?
Add depth and engagement to on-site training by using multimedia assessments as pre-work. These flexible assessments can be used to enhance in-person learning; establish knowledge baselines of trainees; collect additional learner data and insights; and improve outcomes.
Works great for
- Gathering insights from learners around knowledge / skills levels, leading up to a synchronous training session
- Adapting in-person training content to reflect knowledge gaps
- Lead-in for meetings or events, especially to gather information like ideas for problem solving or setting up group activities so you can focus on engagement, interaction, and productivity in the meeting

Step-by-Step Guide for Blended Technical Training
1. Pre-Session Preparation:
- Set clear objectives and provide essential pre-session materials (e.g., case observations, images, videos, references, etc) for the learners to review before the in-person training.
2. Design Interactive Content:
- Create asynchronous pre-work using CredSpark, including slides with instructions and visual asset based diagnostic activities (e.g. simulated field observation, problem-solving tasks).
3. Personalize with Piping Logic:
- Implement piping logic to connect learners' responses across exercises, prompting them to justify their answers to reinforce learning. (Eg. You said “X”, talk about your reasoning.)
4. Enable Pre-Work Downloads:
- Allow learners to download their pre-work responses to bring and discuss during the in-person session.
5. Facilitate Engaging In-Person Sessions:
- Focus on interactive activities that leverage the pre-session work, promoting collaboration and deeper understanding during the live session. Make sure your instructor is reviewing responses beforehand to inform content decisions in the in-person session.
