More 4 elements of effective virtual training Training Industry Share
As the world's economic woes continue, travel budgets are coming under increasing scrutiny, and the desire for virtual training is growing. However, "virtual training" encompasses so many types of learning from self-directed education, through computer-based self-paced e-training, via webinars to fully-functional "virtual classroom"-type activities. And this is only the first problem facing those choosing training providers. With these options, the customer has a good idea of the basic experience: will it be interactive, will the learner need to be at their desk at certain times of day, is someone available to answer questions when something isn't understood?
