Joseph's and John's words reminded me of a course I once did with the World Health Organisation. Amazingly, I have the monograph in front of me, "Educational Handbook for Health Personnel", J-J. Guilbert, 1992.

In it, they draw heavily on the work of Mager (mid-50s) and strongly advise that the workshop participants set their own objectives. The "instructor" then sinks into the background as the participants first identify their objectives, then work out how they'll achieve them, and show that they have, then find all the necessary information to do so.

These types of workshops tend to start slowly - the biggest hurdle is often the participants overcoming their desire to be told what to do - but once they get going it is a real pleasure to behold...

Cheers,
Stephen
