Interaction Types
For decades there has been discussions of interaction types in education. (Anderson, 2003) Most interaction types observed in driver training traditionally are learner to instructor or learner to content. Moreover, most interaction time with driver training and orientation is synchronous or at the same time. This Learning Strategy is going to help you think about ways you can hold training without a physical classroom.
Interaction Time
The following Lesson is broken down into two different interaction times.

Instructional Procedures for F2F
Arrange the room in tables and put 1 artifact on each table and pads of paper and writing utensils.
Have the learners sit in groups at the tables.
Ask the learner if they have ever had to drive directly in the sunlight. What strategies did they use to drive into the sunlight? Make a list of the strategies they used.- Now, point out the artifact that is on their table. Have them write a message from the perspective of the artifact to the driver.
- Give them 3-5 minutes per object and then switch objects. At the end, have one person per group go around and share their artifact perspectives.
- Optional: You can have the groups vote on their favorite group’s artifact perspective. Pass out polarized sunglasses as prizes for the top group.
Example from the car visor perspective: “I am so sorry that you have to drive directly into the sun. Use me to help XXXX.” Have them fill in the rest, for example.
Instructional Procedures for Blended/Online
- Launch a LumaLive session. Ask the learner if they have ever had to drive directly in the sunlight. What strategies did they use to drive into the sunlight? Make a list of the strategies they used on the white board.
- Show an image or an actual artifact. Have them write in the chat box a message from the perspective of the artifact to the driver.
- Discuss the chats when 2-3 minutes are up.
- Assign the Luma’s eNugget® on Here Comes the Sun or a similar online content.
- Have them complete it while on LumaLive and see how well they do on the assessments.
- Discuss what they learned together on the call.
Example from the car visor perspective: “I am so sorry that you have to drive directly into the sun. Use me to help XXXX.” Have them fill in the rest, for example.
