Online Learning Creates Significantly Better Learning Outcomes for Workplace Learners

Too many organizations look at offering virtual learning simply from a cost-savings perspective, but there are valuable educational outcomes that are achieved through online learning as well.



    MOUNT PLEASANT, SC, August 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- While virtual learning can save both time and money - the most important reason to offer online learning opportunities for your workforce is because it offeres significantly better learning outcomes for the learner; however, it is not simply a matter of taking your current classroom-based curriculum and delivering it online.

The virtual environment requires a different perspective on common training activities such as discussion, flip charting, breakout groups and lecture. In addition, the materials (facilitator guides, participant guides and slides) that support the synchronous classroom are quite different. The Training Doctor offers a three-session certificate, twice a year, which teaches the specialized design approach of a synchronous class, the creation of synchronous-appropriate materials, and provides a variety of concrete examples and templates for future use.

This course is NOT platform or topic specific, its goal is to help design compelling courses and course materials to ensure successful vritual class deliveries and the materials that support them.

The next offering (delivered virtually, of course) will be September 14, 21, and 28 from 1:00 - 3:00pm EST. Groups of eight or more qualify for a reduced rate.
