"Apple" technique

Many training professionals state that questioning is an art and technique that has to be learned, practiced, and mastered to enhance training, measure understanding, and engage trainees. The military instructor training courses use a method called the "Apple" technique with "ask, pause, pick, listen, & expand" for each letter. It is an effective technique and really helps engage the students. Discuss what you think each letter means and how it would fit into your training presentation. Then explain whether you think this is an effective questioning technique and why or why not.
