Virtual Classroom Training Solutions
TrainSMART can customize the design and delivery of your company’s virtual classroom training and materials.
Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) is finally coming into its own as a viable, attractive, and cost-effective training method.
And no wonder, it’s a budget pleaser: reducing travel, accommodation, and lost time costs as well as eliminating the expense of printing hard copies of training materials.
Although virtual instructor-led training has been around for nearly 20 years, for much of that time its reception was lukewarm. The technology could be clunky and unreliable.
Facilitators often felt off balance because they couldn’t “see” and “feel” their participants. Training material that was successful in a classroom fell short when transferred to a virtual learning environment.
Most of those issues have been resolved. Improved technology and increased bandwidth mean the virtual environment can now offer tools to bridge the gap of having the instructor and students being in different locations.
Instructional designers and trainers design and deliver online sessions with more interaction than the same session taught in a classroom virtual instructor-led training is not simply a matter of taking material created for the classroom and replicating it online.
That’s where TrainSmart comes in. Our trainers and instructional designers have worked in the virtual instructor-led training space since its early days – learning from personal experience what works and what doesn’t.
Having designed and delivered hundreds of virtual instructor-led training sessions our team of experts can provide a virtual instructor-led training learning experience where participants will say, “I didn’t check my email once!”
