What to consider when you've been asked to be THE virtual trainer.
It happened to me. I was in my final semester of graduate school and needed to find an internship project. Philips was looking for ways to decrease the cost of training - and I began reading about virtual training. It seemed like a natural progression.
So, I became THE virtual trainer (at least for a few months - until others got excited about it). Philips already had the technology - we just were not using it for true virtual training. I learned by trial and error - what worked and what were quite honestly failures.
In this session, Jenny Mayo, M.Ed., PMP, will share those successes and provide you with tips on how to avoid failures.
- What is different in preparing virtual training material?
- How do I prepare the classroom (layouts)?
- How do I gauge students' understanding?
- Is anyone out there listening to me?
- What differences does culture bring to virtual training?
