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.
