Caleb has to conduct a two-hour workshop for supervisors on the effective techniques for conducting performance appraisals. The previous trainer relied solely on providing information through a PowerPoint presentation. Caleb wants to use handouts to provide the training information and maintain the interest of the supervisors. Discuss how handouts can be integrated into Caleb's workshop on performance appraisals.

Answers will vary. Caleb should provide handouts that include important detailed information that the supervisors can examine closely. Audience handouts should add value for individual audience members; otherwise, the information can better be conveyed in a projected format for group benefit. An effective handout can help audience members remember Caleb's message, serve as a reference for later consideration or action, and encourage involvement when space is provided for note taking or response. Caleb can prepare useful presenter notes on small index cards or on pages generated by electronic presentation software.
