Lessons Learned and Suggestions Per Steps in Learner Verification and Revision

Step	Lessons Learned	Suggestions
1: Preparing for LV&R	Effective learner verification interview guides require ample time to refine the order, sequence, and flow of questions Early and continuous involvement of advisors enhances the quality of the materials/intervention produced	View iterations as an opportunity to continually improve the sharpness and clarity of the message Engage advisors to promote and advance the development of effective, logical, and understandable messages. Their insights and feedback are invaluable
2: Interviewing	Critical to establishing rapport is creating a comfortable, welcoming environment (shared understanding vs. a test situation) in which participants do not feel pressured to provide socially desirable responses	Implement training and practice sessions to increase interviewer confidence and skills for prompting informed responses from interviewees
3: Evaluating and revise	Participants may have difficulty imagining an end product Data from each iteration need to be carefully reviewed to uncover new information that may have been missed from prior iterations Providing participants with options on how to incorporate their suggestions/revisions is useful. This can improve richness of the feedback and can expedite the revision process	Try to carry out LV&R interviews with solid draft versions of materials to allow for informed responses and feedback Review data on a continuous basis to inform revisions Solicit ideas from participants by providing multiple options on what the revisions could entail (e.g., three examples of a visual). This helps gives context and a point for reacting to the revisions

Note: LV&R = learner verification and revision.
