Clive- PIAF

Clive's PIAF Summary

P- stands for PREPARATION.  This means you are preparing the learner for the learning experience.

I- stands for INPUT.  You are inspiring the learner to change their behavior in order to develop on going skills that are necessary for the learning.

A- stands for APPLICATION.  You are providing opportunities for the learned to test out these new ideas and skills in the work place or classroom.  You are providing real life experiences  or scenario based challenges. 

F- stands for FOLLOW UP.  You are coaching and supporting the learner.  You are also providing "on demand" content and support from peers.  

Clive discusses blended solutions.  Now students are less passive, its not just the teacher present information but a "blended solution" of present information(expositions), acquire new skills (instruction), suggest challenges (guided discovery).  Students put as much effort into realistic scenario based challenges than they do in a video game.
