There\u2019s a perception \u2013 and stigma \u2013 out there that virtual trainings are inferior to Face-to-Face (F2F) trainings.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n


\nBut why is F-2-F favored by many individuals over virtual?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, there are the obvious benefits of Face-to-Face trainings. \u00a0Like you can experience firsthand the emotional cues defined by visual communication, and the element of encountering fellow participants. When you have to present ideas or thoughts, your interactions tend to be richer. Virtual training can feel like it lacks the immediacy of personal interactions, and so it has been deemed second-rate to its in-person counterpart.<\/p>\n

That said, there are some drawbacks to in-person training.\u00a0 The classroom setting limits the frequency of participation.\u00a0 When you get down to it, you can\u2019t have five people answer an instructor\u2019s question at once!\u00a0 That would be pandemonium. \u00a0Even a diligent teacher can become a bottleneck when trying to hear everyone’s opinion. \u00a0As a result of this limitation, fewer participants interact in the conversations.<\/p>\n

Should we be so hasty, then, to assume that virtual training is the red-headed step-child to Face-to-Face?<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

What are the benefits of virtual training?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

There is plenty of research to suggest that virtual trainings can significantly benefit your participants.\u00a0 According to Shift Learning<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, e-learners have a 60% faster learning curve than do their instructor-led counterparts.\u00a0 Of equal interest, the Research Institute of American found that retention rates can increase 25-60% through eLearning.<\/p>\n

The benefits of virtual training stem from its more open construction.\u00a0 Contrasted with the talking-head lecturer of the in-person setting, virtual trainings encourage an open forum feeling.\u00a0 Multiple respondents can address an instructor\u2019s question without any harm to the overall training. \u00a0Thus, virtual training can encourage the engagement you want from online classrooms.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, virtual trainings represent the most convenient way to bring knowledge and education to your remote workers. \u00a0They’ll be pleased not to have to commute, and you can feel confident they will get the information they need.<\/p>\n
