In this workshop, you are the inspector at paving project site. The attendees will be split into small groups to discuss what they see in a short (1-2 minutes) video of various paving situations. The audience will gather and one of the groups will lead the discussion of what they saw. The group discussion will be followed by a presentation on the topic.
What did attendees have to say about “being the inspector”:
– Looping videos were great learning tools.
– It helped make us aware of job inspections and situations.
– You can talk more being in a small group.
– Good format, good interaction, good for learning.
