\"MoreTalk of using virtual classrooms to help businesses create blended learning environments has heated up over the past few of years.<\/span><\/h4>\n

This new reality comes as no surprise.\u00a0 There are numerous benefits when using virtual classroom training to complement in-person trainings (as blended learning).\u00a0 Businesses save money and time<\/a><\/span><\/strong> by bringing learners together in virtual classrooms. \u00a0This includes:<\/p>\n

-Avoiding the costs of travel<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Decreasing time spent in classroom (=decrease of spending on training)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Reducing extraneous training costs (printing, books, etc.) with digital materials<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(These examples demonstrate a monetary way of calculating the ROI of virtual training.)<\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately,<\/strong> <\/span>many businesses make the assumption that by simply purchasing a virtual classroom platform, they will reap the above benefits and more.\u00a0 This can leave a training department in a lurch.<\/p>\n

Although having the right technology is key, the transition can be complicated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A la Donald Rumsfeld, there are many \u201cunknown-unknowns\u201d with virtual classroom training.<\/p>\n

\n

The \u201cUnknown-Unknowns\u201d<\/span> of Virtual Classroom Training<\/span><\/h2>\n

When businesses take the step toward virtual classroom training, they may be unaware of the intermingled complexity of their new modality.\u00a0 \"virtualThey need to recognize that there are three interrelated factors:<\/p>\n

-The Training Team\u2019s understanding of the platform<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-The Organization\u2019s preparedness for virtual training<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-The Organization\u2019s recognition of learners\u2019 needs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps a business has educated\u00a0their trainers on how to use the virtual\u00a0platform, but have they \u201cvirtualized\u201d their content to drive engagement?\u00a0 What good is a trainer’s knowledge of the platform if they\u2019re just going to be delivering a PowerPoint presentation?\u00a0 (#DeathByPPT)\u00a0 Moreover, has the business thought about how their learners will adapt to the online medium?<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve just laid out represents one variation of numerous \u201cunknown-unknowns\u201d combinations.\u00a0 If businesses don\u2019t address these important considerations, they may not adequately secure the benefits they desire. \u00a0So what\u2019s the strategy for overcoming these issues?<\/p>\n

Dealing with \u201cunknown-unknowns\u201d begins by asking why: \u201cWhy are we using virtual classroom training?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Why<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re evaluating virtual classroom options, don\u2019t simply calculate ROI based upon the ways you can save money. Make the decision based on a well-defined reason: why your business should use a virtual classroom!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtual training has the potential to make your training curriculum more dynamic than in-person sessions alone.\u00a0 When you blend virtual and in-person training, you provide for an enhanced learner experience.\u00a0 The blended learning experience has been shown<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to improve:<\/p>\n

-Learners\u2019 retention<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Workers\u2019 productivity<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Attrition of employees<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think about using the virtual classroom, begin by focusing your \u201cwhy\u201d on what your organizational and learner needs<\/strong>. \u00a0Then evaluate how virtual training can make your curriculum more dynamic.<\/p>\n

The real challenge is to get started moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The First Step<\/span><\/h2>\n

Succeeding with virtual classrooms depends on making use of the right tech, plus an organizational shift in attitude and understanding.\u00a0 Successful implementation requires an approach unique to your business.\u00a0 We can help you get it all figured out.<\/p>\n
