Expert insights. Personalized for you.
On January 3, 2000, I created a company named InSync Training. To answer a commonly asked question, the name WASN’T a play on the name of a popular boy band of the time - back then, virtual classrooms were called ‘synchronous classrooms’ so I felt the name would be compelling. At that time, the U.S. MORE
Here we are in 2019. In our experience, every training professional at every organization understands the need for global training solutions. And because no training content should stand alone, these modern learning rollouts should focus on blended experiences. MORE

There must be an instructional solution between a one-hour webinar and a six-week certificate…. The virtual classroom allows us to create learning experiences that weren’t available 20 years ago. MORE
What makes a virtual classroom facilitator good at what they do? Clients and learners ask us this question regularly. Heck, we ask ourselves this question regularly since it speaks to the fundamental value we deliver through our work! MORE
As our organizations expand, we will rarely create a training program that will only have one delivery run in one location. The very nature of multinational corporations demand global learning initiatives. MORE
More organizations than ever have transitioned from traditional face-to-face training to virtual classrooms. And since no training element stands alone, most blends include live online components of some kind. MORE
The virtual classroom offers a flexible, dynamic learning environment for modern learning blends. We often think about questions such as: When can we most appropriately incorporate virtual classrooms into our instructional designs ? MORE
A few weeks ago, I responded to a number of fundamental questions about virtual learning. MORE
The A in ADDIE stands for assessment , right? Or is it analysis ? I can never remember. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, an “analysis” is defined as, “the careful study of something to learn about its parts, what they do and how they are related to each other.” MORE
When should we record live virtual classroom sessions, and how can we design quality, engaging recordings for on-demand audiences? I’ve never been fond of recording all virtual classes and making them available on demand. I’ve always felt that devalues live virtual instruction. MORE
Has your organization jumped on the blended learning bandwagon, yet? This formal- and informal-learning combination approach to training moves beyond “hot trend” – it offers the opportunity to support learners after structured events end. MORE
After you’ve done your due diligence in the Analysis Phase , plotted your targeted training approach in the Design Phase, and transformed your plan of attack into reality in the Development Phase, it’s time to Implement (the I in ADDIE) and Evaluate (the E in ADDIE). MORE
With the Thanksgiving dinner trimmings put away in the states, the busiest time of year begins to take on a life of its own. With inboxes and fireplaces equally a-blaze, personal professional development and corporate training can wind up on the back burner. MORE
If you were unfamiliar with L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz and read a description of the elements of the story, you’d likely see a list something like the following: a haunted castle with flying monkeys, a poppy field. a tornado in Kansas, a village populated by wee folk. MORE
Virtually There session recap. At some point in your career, you will have to give a presentation or run a meeting. If you work in the Learning & Development space, there’s a good chance you will have to facilitate training content. MORE
Here in the U.S., many on the global InSync Training team prepare to log-off for a day of feasting and reflection. And while celebrating Thanksgiving usually includes a turkey dinner and connecting with those who mean the most to us, we wanted to stop and remember the things we love about our work. MORE
Like every year before it, 2019 proved game-changing, awe-inspiring, and insightful. With only a few weeks left until a new decade, our team felt nostalgic. What did we learn in the last 365 days? Quite a bit, and we’re sure you did too. Modern Learning Modern Blended Learning MORE
This weekend, I purchased something new at a local farmers market: delicata squash. It came highly recommended as an easy winter squash to prepare, with a nice light taste. As I was getting ready to cook it, I had a couple of quick questions. At what temperature should it bake, and for how long? MORE
One of the most common questions my team and I receive about virtual learning events boils down to technology : how do you make sure glitches don’t cause learners to disconnect? I love this question! MORE
In the digital workplace, everything is monitored and recorded. It’s far easier to attribute the impact of an individual employee to the overall success of a company. This means that people analytics plays a huge role in how leaders develop their business strategy. MORE
In modern blended learning , what learners think about information presented during the training experience matters. In fact, our research shows that this learner reaction perfectly defines the concept of intellectual engagement. Intellectual engagement relies on intent. MORE
This is the third installment in a three-part series that explores actionable approaches virtual classroom facilitators can use to improve learner engagement through purposeful facilitation. MORE
Recently, a Reuters article titled How to Create Connections at Work in the Age of Isolation went viral on LinkedIn. The main point that resonated with readers? The loneliness of remote workers. Today, organizations look wildly different than they did even ten years ago. MORE
In thinking about leadership and learning in the era of the four-generation workplace , no shortage of frustrations exists. Technology changes, “cool” workspaces, and operational processes are constantly evolving. MORE
Virtually There Session Recap. How can learning leaders and other stakeholders better engage their workforce? Gaining emotional and professional buy-in from employees requires a structured approach focused on communication. MORE
When we think of self-paced training content, eLearning modules often come to mind. Even with the development of “choose-your-own-adventure” content and the inclusion of bells-and-whistles, eLearning can fail to resonate with modern learners. MORE
I enjoy asking my fellow instructional designers whether they consider themselves designers or developers. Because most of the time, they answer with a question: “What’s the difference?”. And then I get to wax poetic about the differences in my two favorite phases in ADDIE : Design and Develop. MORE

One of the secrets of the C-suite is that they are always dealing with scarcity. Money spent in one place cannot be spent in another.
