Over the last two years, organizations have been using virtual training platforms more and more.

But what they've found is that virtual training is different from in-person training.

In today's episode, we will learn three important things you must have in any virtual training.

Tune in to Learning For GoodThree Must-Haves in Any Virtual Training.

What You Will Discover: 

#1 - Be intentional. Have a purpose with what you create and how you create it to keep the training relevant and meaningful to your staff. Consider:

  • The organization’s needs - What do you want to accomplish through the virtual training? How does that support your organization? 
  • The audience’s needs - What do they already know how to do? What skills might be lacking? What motivates them to do these things? 
  • Imagine how you can use the virtual classroom to help them practice the skills they need.

#2 - Build trust. Your staff will be more engaged in your virtual training if they believe you want the best for them. How?

  • Set expectations.
  • Explain the benefits of the training on their career or position.
  • Facilitate relationship-building among participants.
  • Listen to your staff. 

#3 - Do the unexpected. Don’t just be a talking head presenting information on a screen. People remember what is unique, uncommon, and outside the norm.

To make your virtual training more interesting:

  • Use an improv activity. 
  • Try out a Kahoot! game. 
  • Turn videos off for a change.
