Designing effective virtual training

eCourse background

In the transition to digital, we need to think differently. A big challenge is that the time in the virtual classroom is shorter. Therefore, we have to move a lot of content, reflection and practice that would otherwise be placed in the classroom to the time before and after. While this requires more responsibility from learners,  delivering the right content and activities can drive higher learner engagement and retention from your virtual training.

That is what you will learn in this course! Our hope is that you will leave this eCourse with tangible tools that you as a trainer can directly use to succeed before, during and after corporate virtual training.
