How to do Adult Training – The 90/20/8 Rule

Presentation is a fundamental component in how adults comprehend and retain information in continuing education courses and seminars. When preparing an instructor-led continuing education course, it is important to use techniques which will make your presentation straightforward and engaging.
 
The 90/20/8 rule, developed by the Bob Pike Group, is a structured formula for best presenting content to adult students.  The rule states a class should break every 90 minutes to ensure participants understand and absorb course material. In addition, the presenter should ask for audience participation every 8 minutes to promote discussion and keep content interesting.  Dividing course content into 20-minute segments can be an advantageous way to introduce material in manageable portions. Revisiting content through audience involvement will help students apply course information and resources to future projects.
