How Does Prospero Training Work?
-
Creating a smartscript in Prospero Training is designed to feel as natural as planning and structuring an in-person learning session.
First you’ll create a series of ‘scenes’. Scenes can be any content that will stimulate learning, thinking and creativity. You can incorporate your existing digital content - videos, music, photographs or text, and mix-and-match it with live content from anywhere on the internet.
News websites, Google Maps, Images, Wikipedia or Youtube can all be incorporated, meaning your Smartscripts can be ever-changing and always up to date.
-
You’ll then layer each ‘scene’ with instructions, tasks and guidance that learners will need to explore and engage with the materials. Within a Smartscript you can ask questions, provoke conversations, and get learners up on their feet interacting with tasks and activities.
Want to give learners a fixed time to complete an activity? Include a timed section. Or give control to the session facilitator and learners, and let them progress through the Smartscript at their own pace.
Perhaps you want to carefully structure your Smartscript with a beginning, middle and end, and a specific order for activities to be completed. You can do that in Prospero. Or maybe you prefer to let groups choose their own pathway: you can do that too, with Prospero’s interactive ‘choose your own adventure’ style options. Create characters, pose dilemmas, set challenges to solve.
Have fun gamifying your Smartscripts in infinite ways, to make them playful and engaging, whatever the subject matter.
-
You can even create multiple versions of your smartscripts, aimed at different levels, abilities or interests, or developed for specific groups, courses or institutions. And you can easily tweak and develop smartscripts over time, as you learn more about how they are being used in the real world.
-
When you become a Prospero Training Provider, you’ll get your own customisable Prospero channel in the Prospero Library. This is a digital home for all of your training sessions and workshops, and you can choose who can access them and for how long. You can even embed them in your own website.
-
Prospero Training works seamlessly on (almost) any device, using a simple browser extension. This means anyone can access and use the system on the tech they already have in their organisations, bypassing any IT headaches and getting straight on with the creative learning.
Everything in Prospero has been designed to enable you to create beautifully engaging, intuitive sessions where the learning is active not passive.
