MEMBER ONLY EVENT

Take a little space on a Friday afternoon to talk technical with your fellow NZATD members. Show Your Work is a relaxed, member-led session designed to explore practical questions, challenge assumptions, and share insights from the field of training and development.
This session
We are going to test-drive using AI for meaningful feedback
When designing e-learning, making sure feedback are sharp, meaningful, and genuinely helpful is hard. We usually depend on good quality (!) multi-choice questions.
But - what if our learners are asked to complete a reflective piece of writing and is given meaningful constructive feedback. With help from AI, it seems we can do just that.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
- Write a reflective piece using the task below
- Bring it to this Show Your Work session
- Be prepared to discuss the feedback from AI
- Consider if this is a method you would use.
Task: Think of a brief presentation, safety briefing, or technical training slot you currently deliver (or have seen delivered).
Write a short reflection (150–200 words) outlining how you would "flip" this session using Knowles' Andragogy. Specifically, tell us:
-
What the session looks like before (the traditional approach).
-
How you will change it after to activate the learners' Prior Experience or Readiness to Learn within the first 5 minutes.
-
Why this shift will reduce learner resistance.

Simplified rubric to be used for marking / feedback purposes:
Developing: Identifies the theory but relies on passive elements (like a Q&A at the very end). Simply lists what changed without explaining why.
Achieved: Explicitly shifts control to the learner. Demonstrates a clear method to extract prior experience early, and analyses why it drives motivation.
