Looking for creative minds, We've been reflecting on our current orientation approach and how to improve it, and we could use your help. PowerPoint presentations followed by Q&A sessions, or welcome packets, etc- while informative, often result in limited retention of information. Based on questions over the months following orientation, it feels like about 20-30% of orientation information is absorbed at best. While vague, general interactive discussions are fun, some things just have to be learned at the beginning- like major group decisions and processes. At least for some of the portions of the orientation, we want an approach that requires more of their interactive engagement with the material, that gives them immediate feedback about whether they know the material, and that provides immediate correction so they succeed in learning the decision or process or anything else. What do you think is ideal? Have any of your communities done a great job? Has anyone tried gamifying parts of their orientations?-- digital escape rooms or scavenger hunts, etc? Has anyone tried quizzes (although that sounds horrible...)? Any other approaches or ideas? I am not looking for external training suggestions-- like the wonderful courses offered by IC and SOFA and US Coho, among many others. We do plan to attend some of these over time, and they are the very best thing to set a group on track, but I am focused here on internal orientation sessions that occur directly after one becomes a new member.
