Trainers and Educators are always wishing that they had a magic way to remind their learners of things outside of class. Don’t forget to finish that module – Please bring your work or materials to our next session – Big test coming up. Sometimes these things are something you can schedule in advance because you know the calendar, and sometimes these things are last minute reminders.
