Interactive Activities

One proven method for generating interest in compliance issues during training sessions is through the use of interactive activities.

Did you know that the FDA has prepared a series of quizzes that are available on their website?

Go to http://www.fda.gov/fdac/quiz/quiz_archive.html for a listing of these quizzes.

Here's how you can use these quizzes in your GMP training.

  • Use them as prepared by FDA.
  • Take the questions from these quizzes and create your own quiz to use. Mix and match the various questions from the different quizzes.
  • Distribute a quiz to people as they arrive in the training room before the training starts. They can work on them as they are waiting for the session to begin as an informal warm-up exercise.
  • Set people up in pairs or teams of threes. Let them work on the quiz together.
  • Establish friendly competitions between groups to see who can get the most answers correct. Have small prizes like candy bars avaiable for the winners. (I like to also have on hand smaller candy bars for everyone else.)
