Activities for Python Training

In today's world where deep learning and artificial intelligence studies are gaining momentum, the software industry that tries to process and make sense of big data is also developing. The first and right choice of software developers and software beginners who want to improve themselves in deep learning is to take Python training. Perculus virtual classes are also the first choice of software trainers who want to teach Python software language. Thanks to interactive and collaborative activities, dozens of people can focus on software at the same time. Let's take a look at how your first training flow can be.

18 activities to make python training more interactive

Online training has been the new normal after Covid 19. Video and video conferencing based online training has been the easiest to implement and many training companies started using these methods to carry on their python training. But over the time, participants started get bored in such an environment and started to have Zoom fatigue. The training companies and trainers needed more tools to engage their audience with the training.

Python is not just an easy-to-learn software language. Using the Python software language you can: drive artificial intelligence, control computer functions, program microprocessors, develop deep learning software, create programs for web server functional operations, work with big data, and I'm out of breath. The point is that you can develop web software pieces or desktop programs for many more purposes. The Python language can open doors to your future. Whether you are a software student trying to learn python or an instructor trying to teach the python software language. Perculus virtual classrooms are the right place to learn and teach python. Follow the flow steps below to give your first python training.

Why engage with participants in python training?

It was nearly impossible to create the in-person sensations students experience in an online environment. Instructors need to create 800% more touchpoints in order to be as effective as in-person classes. Over 77% of students struggle to motivate themselves to pay attention. Research has shown that students who perceive high levels of interaction also perceive high levels of learning. Instructors controlling content and interaction, can have positive effects on the perceived learning of the students. Solo video conferencing negatively effects productivity. Sessions held exclusively with video conferencing decrease the productivity of the audience drastically. Some of issues faced;

Lack of accountability
Lack of instructor-participant interaction
Difficulty in assessment methodologies
Higher levels of learning in more instructor-controlled learning environments

Online Activities for Instructors and Teachers

It is very hard to manage online sessions and activities when they are not fully integrated into the platform. Perculus offers instructors an experience with integrated tools to assist their training. This way they can be focused on their sessions, the rest is under Perculus' control.

Brainstorming

Find out top-voted ideas! With brainstorming, you can ask your attendees to write their thoughts on a specific matter, then get these ideas voted on. This would help you to get to know your students, and find out which ideas get the most and least voted.

Word Cloud:

Let the words shine behind the clouds! Word cloud feature can take your communication with your users to the next level. This tool also offers you an atmosphere where you can discuss and brainstorm on the most used answers.

Whiteboard:

Old school. Do you miss classrooms? Open the whiteboard, let every participant use it for writing, and list. This can make attendees feel comfortable and part of it the class.

Upload Document:

Gather up the question marks. Upload documents that contain your syllabus, and the articles you think will help attendees to process your training. Fully.

Second Camera:

A smile can make your day! With a second camera, you can use Perculus as a real-life lab. It’s a special activity to make applied courses!

Creating Breakout Rooms

Let’s tear down the walls! It’s hard to communicate with people through video conferences but creating breakout rooms can engage your students. This can break the ice between attendees and offers them a platform to experience working together.

External App:

Create your space! You can move your apps to Perculus through the embed feature. This way you are ready to collect and manage all the activities you are using. Here are three tools that have deep integration with Perculus:

Miro
Padlet
Google Docs

You can add these tools to Perculus by simply copying their links.
