Trends in Virtual Training: What's Now? What's New? What's Next?
Are your virtual classes stagnant? Are you using the same tools---such as polling, whiteboards, chat---that you've used for years? Are your participants multitasking despite your efforts to draw them in? Do you want to find new ways to engage learners? Are you thinking about the future and how new technologies and new mind sets will influence your virtual training program's effectiveness? In this session, you'll learn what's new in virtual training and five important trends influencing it. You'll also be introduced to research on current and future trends. And you'll use an action plan to prepare yourself and your organization for what's coming down the road. This session was recorded at the ATD 2019 TechKnowledge conference in West Palm Beach, Florida.
