Each online event includes
between two and four activities designed to facilitate the exchange of
ideas, foster the development of an online community of learning, and
deepen participants' capacity to provide effective prevention programs.
Some activities take advantage of the unique possibilities offered by
an online environment, such as the ability to go offline; collect information
from your agency, community, or state; then return to the discussion,
at your convenience, to share what you've learned. Other activities have
been adapted from the CAPT's face-to-face trainings, for example:
-
Question and answer sessions, where,
for example, participants can exchange tips for using the Web to
enhance prevention, share prevention strategies, or describe local
successes and struggles
-
Small-group discussions around specific
issues, such as how to apply key prevention strategies, choose effective
programs, or increase cultural competence
The success of these activities depends on your active
involvement. We hope you will enjoy many stimulating and informative discussions,
but this can only happen if you play an active role. Below are some tips
for getting the most out of each session:
-
Log in and participate! Plan to log on
at least once a day and participate in the online activities as often
as you can. You can share long or short messages, ask big or small
questions, or contribute brief reactions to the messages posted by
other participants and the moderator.
