From an email shared by a colleague
Learner Engagement Soars! The other day, I was asked by a journalist for the one tip that I would give to people wanting to improve learning and training. They probably thought that I would give a very "Learning 4.0" type answer. Instead, I focused on the number of seconds between the time an instructor asks a question and the next sound that they make! Unfortunately, most teachers ask, "Any questions?" and in less than 3 seconds start to speak again, often saying - "OK, let's go on!" It takes a learner many seconds to recognize that you have stopped teaching, asked for a question, reviewing what you said, evaluating what they would like to ask, formulating the question, raising their hand and then asking it! Not possible in 3 seconds!!!! So, extend your wait time to at least 9 seconds - and the levels of learning engagement will soar!
