Virtual Training, also known as VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) is on the increase with over 86% of organisations either already using VILT or planning to do so soon.
VILT replicates a face-to-face (F2F) learning workshop in an online environment; with learning designed and delivered by skilled virtual trainers that are as interactive and effective as a well-run F2F workshop.
If you are looking to zap any misconceptions and/or convince others of the merits of virtual training, then the following is worth considering:
1. Improving learning transfer
2. Increasing time efficiency
3. Making cost savings
4. Matching a flexible workforce
5. Enhancing wellbeing
6. Encouraging digital
7. Facilitating collaboration
8. Enabling global reach & inclusivity
9. Reducing Risk
10.Limiting carbon usage
11.Being recordable and reusable
Let’s have a look at each of them.
1) Improving Learning Transfer
We believe that well run VILT workshops can rival F2F training in terms of learning transfer. Research in this area over the last few years has demonstrated that VILT can produce a learning transfer that is as good as, if not better than that of F2F.
By its nature, VILT is bite-sized and normally runs for around 1-3 hours. This approach allows participants to process focused sections of learning and then apply specific actions and behaviour changes both during and after a workshop.
This then gets layered up with VILT programmes as participants alternate between learning and application.
Due to travel and related costs, most F2F training is delivered in day long workshops (or even more sometimes). This can encourage some trainers to ‘cram’ the event with multiple key points, models, processes etc. As a result of this, too much content can be offered, which may not be fully absorbed and subsequently used by the participants. Using VILT avoids this and helps to provide quality results in creating lasting learning transfer.
