Pre-work Program/ Post-work Quiz
Live events utilize a closed-loop learning experience by providing pre-work programs and post-work quizzes to accompany the lecture events to ensure attendees of the lectures retain concepts taught. The flipped classroom pre-work episodes are developed specifically to introduce key information which may be applied during the live event and encourage engagement between the attendee and faculty. Pre-work is presented by expert faculty in several short, educational episodes. Post-work quizzes allow attendees to revisit topics for a better long-term retention and test their knowledge on concepts taught at the lecture.
