Learners retain knowledge best when they apply it. This lesson focuses on how to balance theoretical explanations with practical applications. You’ll learn when to introduce real-world examples, demonstrations, or mini case studies to illustrate abstract concepts. We’ll discuss various activity types—from exercises and checklists to simulations and guided projects—and how to match them with your content. You’ll also learn how to structure hands-on components within each lesson and across the course as a whole. Tips for pacing, learner feedback, and reinforcing practical learning will help you design a course that is both educational and actionable.
