Since this learning type enables organisers to teach many people at once, lectures at elementary schools and one-time workshops are often instructed in this form.
These training programs range from one-time workshops to more extensive training modules (Table 1).
Research evidence increasingly demonstrates that brief interventions (for example, one-time workshops) are not sufficient to change adult behavior with children (Winton 2008; Winton and McCollum 2008).
Research to date is clear that longitudinal (meeting a number of different times) and continuous PD is more effective than shorter, one-time workshops in terms of promoting conceptual change and effective practice (Rogers, 1995; Fiszer, 2004).
One-time workshops raise awareness of evidence-based practices, but faculty members are more likely to make significant changes in their teaching practices when supported by coaching and feedback.
While several initiatives have risen to the challenges of implementing the goals of Vision and Change across undergraduate life sciences education, they have often been limited by their short-term nature in the form of one-time workshops and institutes.
Collectively, this work suggests that one-time workshops raise awareness of evidence-based teaching strategies but are not sufficient for faculty to adopt and successfully use these strategies (National Research Council [NRC], 2012).
**Intensification of diabetes management – Increased dose of OAD or insulin, increased OAD score, or the addition of insulin; Intensification is a one-time post workshop variable, therefore no within group differences.
Until recently, most of these multilateral discussions have been organized as one-time activities, occurring as conferences, workshops, and informal meetings.
I have conducted workshops with my one-time lover Mark Matousek, who did me the honor of writing the introduction for my book The New 60.
