In a breakout, one team reviews one Learning Path to ensure that the content and the steps are accurate, logical, sequential, and complete. For example, the Whizz Kids team discussed the Learning Path to master the staining of a front door with sidelights. The group might point out useful tools that do not appear on the slide or argue if the product pictured is still the best offering on the market. The team leader gathers the feedback for the tech person to modify.
