The Definitive A-to-Z Guidebook on Virtual Training
Is your virtual training getting the results you want? The ability to deliver training at any time and to any location allows maximum flexibility for organizations and learners, which ultimately means more training opportunities than in-person classes could ever provide. As more organizations switch to or increase virtual training programs, learning how to excel in designing and delivering those programs is critical.
The Virtual Training Guidebook, second edition, is a resource that will make the difference for beginners and veterans alike. It is a comprehensive and accessible manual for anyone who needs to create robust employee training solutions that solve real-world business challenges. Novices and experienced training professionals will find field-tested advice on choosing the right technology for their organization’s training needs, designing and facilitating classes that help all participants level up their skills, developing more engaging activities for learners, measuring success, and turning virtual training programs into valuable contributors to talent development and the bottom line.
The new edition includes:
- Step-by-step instructions for designers, facilitators, producers, administrators, and participants on how to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness
- Dozens of new and updated case studies and practical checklists, templates, and worksheets
- Expanded coverage of accessibility, hybrid learning, and immersive technologies
- A look at what’s trending in global classrooms and mobile technology
