*Céntrese en el trabajo en equipo más que en evaluar las capacidades del Aprendiz. El seguimiento debería basarse en el fomento del trabajo en equipo y en el acoger en el programa al Aprendiz; el seguimiento NO debe ser una formación básica, ni una prueba de resistencia o de fuerza, ni un test de personalidad.

*Las Experiencias de Seguimiento pueden hacerse uno a uno o en pequeños grupos. Intencionadamente, no se marca un número para decir que es un 'pequeño grupo', pues las experiencias de seguimiento pueden tener estilos diversos. Sin embargo, por favor, tenga cuidado con el llevar a múltiples Aprendices por varias ubicaciones de Second Life, pues el número de personas en una región puede afectar el funcionamiento del simulador y degradar el valor de la experiencia de seguimiento. Recuerde: ¡calidad sobre cantidad!
