Introduction
My free eBook, Virtual Training Guide – How to Future-proof Your Virtual Training Transformation, is designed as a guide in your Virtual Training Transformation endeavor – packed with tips, best practices, and ideas you can use!
Background
This is my second eBook, written in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From a temporary arrangement to offer Work-from-Home (WFH) for the employees, organizations are now realigning their approach to factor for WFH as a long-term approach.
The workplace of the future will need to have this flexibility and agility to dynamically align the workforce to the changing situation.
With remote working, the associated aspect of what strategies should be adopted for effective remote learning comes in. Given the fact that classroom-based training may not be feasible for the near future, how should this be flipped efficiently into a remote mode that offers the same value? The answer lies in adopting Virtual Training.
In this eBook,
- I provide insights ranging from Virtual Training basics (definition and benefits), approaches, and tips and strategies that you can practically use.
- I touch upon the implicit challenge of engaging remote learners as you move to the Virtual Training mode and share several best practices that will help you engage and train them effectively.
- I outline several best practices as you undertake Virtual Training Transformation in your organization.
- I also highlight how you can create immersive Virtual Learning experiences that will help you deliver high engagement, sticky learning, and application on the job. You can also leverage it to bring in a change in thinking or drive behavioral change.
- I wrap up by piecing it together – How you can drive your Virtual Training Transformation through a Learning and Performance Ecosystem. This model helps you create learning journeys for your remote learners – facilitating continuous learning.
Here’s what Christopher Pappas, Founder of eLearning Industry’s Network, has to say about my eBook, Virtual Training Guide – How to Future-proof Your Virtual Training Transformation:
“The last few months have been like witnessing a fast-forward leap to the future. Business transformation through change management and virtual training initiatives came earlier than expected for many organizations. But that’s a good thing! Worry not, since this eBook offers valuable insights into how to handle the transition and prepare for the years to come.”
