Are your learners tuning out? Clicking through content without engaging? Struggling to apply what they’ve learned in the real world? Stifling yawns in your workshops and webinars? Well, it’s time to flip the script.

Learn how to engage learners, increase their retention, and apply hands-on activities by approaching your instruction with an action-first mindset. What is action-first learning? Action-first learning is a proven approach that immerses learners in real-world scenarios, challenges them to think critically, and drives retention through experience—not just exposure. Drawing from concepts in his latest book and bringing them to life, Dr. Kapp will guide you through practical strategies, real-world applications, and exciting examples, highlighting how you can make instruction more engaging and effective.

You will learn:

  • How to design and implement action-first learning strategies that engage learners through immersive experiences rather than passive content consumption
  • How to integrate science-based action-first learning techniques into your design of live online learning, face-to-face classroom events, and e-learning
  • Four methods of action-first learning you can apply today
