Blackblot Training Delivery Format
There is no sure way of knowing which delivery format is intrinsically better. However, a delivery format is chosen depending on the audience, mode, and content.
The objective of selecting a delivery format is to promote content understanding and retention and make the overall training experience as positive and meaningful as possible.
The Classroom delivery format is considered most effective when teaching a small group of students.
The Workshop delivery format is appropriate when applying what has been taught to a small group of students.
The Lecture delivery format is suitable when disseminating information to a large group of students.
Used throughout Blackblot's training program, the Classroom delivery format is the best format for delivering complex and diverse content, such as topics in product management, to a small group of participants.

Delivery Format Definitions
- Classroom – discourse given before an audience, with multiple instances of audience interaction or involvement in the form of discussions, exercises, and drills. (The classroom delivery format is based on intensive and highly interactive sessions, which are forty-five minutes to one hour in duration).
- Workshop – guided hands-on training meant to develop skills via doing and experiencing. (A true workshop rarely involves topic presentation. During a workshop, more time is allocated to exercises and less time for instructor-led dissertations.)
- Lecture – discourse given before an audience, with little or no audience interaction or involvement. (One is either barred from or encouraged not to ask questions during the lecture or allowed to ask questions after the lecturer has concluded the lecture.)
