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.

Virtual Classroom Producers Have a Critical Role to Play in Virtual Learning Environments The role of the virtual classroom producer has changed significantly in the world of virtual and hybrid learning. No longer confined to simply "making the talent look good," these professionals have emerged as drivers of environmental engagement and vital supporters of facilitators' mission to engage learners.

People often perceive corporate training as a mandatory, impersonal process: they fulfill the requirements and proceed to the next task. 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.

People often wonder if virtual online learning can be as effective as in-person training. Is it a mere compromise, a second-best option? I firmly believe that with an authentic and well-designed approach, virtual training can be just as impactful and effective as traditional classroom settings. By prioritizing learner engagement and creating immersive experiences, virtual classrooms have the potential to deliver genuine and meaningful learning experiences akin to their physical counterparts.

Mastering Hybrid Learning This post is reprinted from the July 2023 Issue of HR.com Employee Learning & Development Excellence. We all know that the learning environment has vastly changed as a result of the pandemic. Hybrid learning, combining virtual with face-to-face instruction, is becoming common. It is easy to think that hybrid is the best of both worlds – and combining them should be easy.

Use Your Summer to Improve as a Designer Do you remember those summer reading lists you were given in school? Your teachers recommended age-appropriate books you could read to give you a jump on the following year’s topics and learning goals. Maybe you posted them on the refrigerator and dutifully checked off the list all summer, or maybe you squeezed in one book in the waning days of vacation just so that you could write the required book report or paper.

It was the first time they’d ever seen the “inside” of a virtual classroom. Back then, it was remarkable if your learner audience completed a live online virtual instructional delivery thinking, “wow, I got a lot out of that training.”.

What's In A Name? The new hire experience often gets a bad reputation for being boring and focused on paperwork. That 'boring' stuff is important, but it's time for a rebranding - and to make a distinction between 'orientation' and 'onboarding.'. Before we dig into our organization’s onboarding and its effectiveness, especially with remote and hybrid employees , we need to understand that there is a difference between orientation and onboarding.

L et me ask you a question. Can you define mobile learning ? Is “mobile learning” a learning technology, a design technique, or something else completely? 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.
