A philosophy of "Virtual First" is being applied to decisions about training delivery. Do you have the team you need? Pre-pandemic, it was a common perception that more rigorous training programs required an in-person classroom experience. Now, with years of experience proving that much of this content can be taught effectively in a virtual environment, training programs are being designed for virtual and hybrid delivery first.

Part of InSync Training's Thriving as a Learning Professional Series One of the most often used training interactions in the workplace is on-the-job training (OJT). You simply sit someone down and teach them what they need to know to perform work tasks or run through the procedures and policies for a particular job in the organization. It’s a very informal approach that we engage in all the time with colleagues, new team members, and others.

This reflects a traditional "push" learning culture that centers on content rather than individual experiences. However, this approach overlooks an essential aspect of effective learning — the emotional component.

Why L&D Needs To Ensure the Virtual Delivery Team is Fully Skilled & Competent. The Virtual Facilitator is often seen as the ‘face’ of the virtual instructional team. They’re the person out in front, working with the learners, teaching the content. But why do we call them facilitators, rather than teachers, trainers or something else? The word facilitator, according to the Oxford English Dictionary means “a person or thing that makes an action or process easy or easier”.

If you have little children in your life, you no doubt have experienced the joy (or chagrin) of seeing them imitate what you do. They pick up your mannerisms, your often-repeated sayings, and your likes and dislikes. Imitation is no doubt how you, yourself, learned how to dress, how to throw a ball, and how to take responsibility. This kind of learning continues throughout our lives.

Not as easy a question it seems it should be, is it? I'll get back to the answer later on. The last decade has introduced myriad new technologies and methodologies to our toolkits. But this evolution in learning has been messy.
