Interaction Types
For decades there has been discussions of interaction types in education. (Anderson, 2003) Most interaction types observed in driver training traditionally are learner to instructor or learner to content. Moreover, most interaction time with driver training and orientation is synchronous or at the same time. This Learning Strategy is going to help you think about ways you can hold training without a physical classroom.

Share your screen and have the Self Confidence Slides, slide 2 showing.
Ask the class, what is self confidence? Have them brainstorm ideas and you can write their ideas.
Have each individual come up with a personal definition of self confidence.- After giving the time to come up with their definitions, show slide 3. Discuss how their definitions were similar or different than the definition you showed.
- Ask them, “Why does self-confidence even matter?”
- Tell them that even if they feel self-confident, there may be a sibling, friend, child, co-worker, etc that may struggle with self-confidence. Challenge them to build a tip sheet for them. Send the Building Self-Confidence Worksheet out through email and have them brainstorms tips individually or fill it in together. Feel free to use the Building Self-Confidence Ideas Sheet for ideas if participants struggle.
Send out the Changes to the Building Self-Confidence eNugget®.- In the discussion board post the following:
Do you struggle or know someone who struggles with self-confidence?
Why do you think people struggle with it?
Even if you feel self-confident, there may be a sibling, friend, child, co-worker, etc that may struggle with self-confidence. Build a tip sheet and share it in the discussion board. Feel free to use this template for your ideas: Building Self-Confidence Worksheet.
