== Purpose Goals of Training == === General Goal ===
To '''plan''', '''implement''' and '''evaluate''' a training course for users and trainers using the Westminster computer lab. The intention of these series of training sessions is to provide basic computer skills to allow users to conduct classes in Westminster computer lab. In this way, many people can learn how to use the computer lab, train other members, or provide assistance to help "distribute" the technical support load.
The PIE '''method''' is the classic approach to designing course curriculum. Elements of these training sessions will provide students with skills to help plan, implement, and evaluate courses. In a broader sense (other than course development), this skill should extend to allow members, Action Group Facilitators to plan, implement, and evaluate initiatives and projects.
Appropriate time must be given during the <u>'''P'''</u>lanning stage to identify and understand the needs of the student, as well as the content to teach. After the planning stage, then the developer must focus on the course delivery or <u>'''I'''</u>mplementation (including lesson plans, evaluation, etc.). Finally, the course developer needs to evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson in terms of implementation (perhaps planning) in order to provide feedback (improvement) for future course sessions.
