3 Key Considerations While Converting Classroom Training Material to VILT
- 2. Virtual Instructor-led Training A BEGINNER’S GUIDE
- 3. Introduction The world is going virtual, and while virtual gaming and shopping have been around for quite sometime now, virtual teams, virtual meetings, and virtual training are becoming more and more popular due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, organizations are increasingly opting for online training, either synchronous or asynchronous, to ensure uninterrupted learning.
- 4. Synchronous or Asynchronous Online Training Formats Asynchronous • eLearning • Microlearning • Mobile learning Synchronous • Webinars • Virtual classrooms
- 5. Virtual vs. Traditional Classrooms The virtual classroom differs from the physical in a lot of aspects, apart from the lack of physical interaction and non-verbal cues. In a nutshell, Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT) is neither a webinar nor presenting classroom material in a videoconference.
- 6. The 2 Pillars of the Virtual Classroom VILT TECHNOLOGY CONTENT
- 7. 1. Content Content is the most important component of the virtual classroom. A B If you have existing classroom training material, ensure you identify the right ‘need-to-know’ content that needs to be included in the virtual session. If the VILT session is for a new training program, it pays to have a streamlined roadmap to: • Ensure the training program (session) is aligned with business goals. • Identify the performance-based learning objectives of the training.
- 8. Types of Instructional Material Whether you are using existing content or building a new VILT program from scratch, here are some instructional materials you need to have: Participant guides and handouts Facilitator guides Reference material
- 9. 2. Technology Several technological platforms are available to help conduct your virtual classroom sessions. Popular ones include: Microsoft Lync Microsoft Teams Cisco Webex Adobe Connect Vedamo Zoom
- 10. Train the Trainers This is a crucial element of virtual classroom training as most virtual sessions are conducted by traditional classroom facilitators – most of whom are wary if not downright suspicious of technology. Making them comfortable with the platform and helping them use it effectively is as important as designing the material and choosing the platform. After all, the best-designed content can go for a toss if not used properly.
- 11. Effective Ways to Overcome Hurdles in VILT The most effective ways to overcome hurdles is to: Involve your instructors right from selecting the platform. Provide ‘train the trainer’ webinars or online courses as ready references. Offer them ample practice opportunities and dry runs to get familiar with it. Buddy each instructor with a host to help them with the technological aspect during live sessions. Train them on using the virtual lobby to encourage early arrivals (or you can have a host doing this). Train them on sharing resources and files.
