Virtual Training Tips
Are you putting together a virtual training site? If so, here are some things you may want to consider.
- Printable checklists for what needs done.
- Assessments to help people start in the correct place.
- External links to define terms and find more detailed information.
- Progress bar to give visual representation of how much of the virtual training is complete.
- Feedback collected after each virtual training module.
- Video and audio – many people like more than just text.
- Interactive flash to illustrate points.
- Interactive community – either within the course or linked to.
- Virtual Training Learning Objectives clearly defined for every lesson.
- Remember where people stopped and restart there.
On top of those elements, if you are selecting a learning management system, consider the following:
- How easy is it to upload or build your virtual training lesson?
- How much video and audio will the system store?
- Does the system manage students well?
- Does the system have too many features you do not need?
- Does the system charge you for people even when they are inactive?
- Can you repurpose content from one virtual training module into another?
