A jolt is an experiential learning activity that illustrates one or more important learning points. A few important characteristics of jolts are:
Jolts last for a very short period of time
Jolts provide participants with insights rather than skills
Jolts produce emotional effects
Some jolts require interaction among participants
All jolts must be followed by a debriefing
Jolts lull participants into behaving in a comfortable way and then suddenly deliver a powerful wakeup call. They are brief, engaging, and easily adaptable to your purpose. Jolts force participants to re-examine their assumptions and habitual behaviors. A typical jolt lasts for less than five minutes but provides enough insights for a lengthy debriefing.
