Use SPRINT! games to engage the trainees in relatively dull and try topics.

Learning topics related to policies

Ask questions that requires one to know the information in a certain policy
Use [INFO] to add a link to open up the policy.
Trainee opens up the policy to search for the answer
Trainee has limited time to search. Skill to scan and search is being trained.

Let the trainee learn from feedback.
Was the answer right? Give reasons for the right answer.
Was the answer wrong? Let trainee know why it was wrong and what the right answer should be.
Link again to the policy so that reflection can take place.

Top tips!

Are you using this in a blended learning environment? Then allow the student to study the policies beforehand.
By shortening the time allowed for [INFO], the trainee will learn to scan the document faster. Do this gradually.
