Converting to the Virtual Classroom

Converting to the Virtual Classroom Program Overview

The world has been transformed by the COVID-19 crisis; however, one thing is certain, there needs to be a continued commitment to learning and development as a driver of talent management and organizational performance.

 What has vastly changed and is shaping the “new normal” is the way we deliver learning initiatives. Through necessity, organizations are transitioning to the virtual environment. Many organizations have begun to realize that designing and delivering in the virtual classroom has significant differences from the traditional, face to face, environment.

In this dynamic program, you will practice key concepts on how to convert content from a traditional face-to-face format, to a motivating, interactive and engaging virtual environment. The program is delivered in six online sessions and presents a variety of interactive techniques and instructional design activities that model best practices in the virtual classroom.

You will assess your present traditional classroom programs and determine what is required to transition them to engaging virtual programs, that meets both their instructional intent and desired outcomes. Through a series of hands-on applications, you will experience well-designed and effective virtual learning that can be adapted for the technical platform and capabilities you are using.

“Really enjoyed the online program and sessions. I learned a lot, was never bored and was easily able to pay attention and stay engaged. The content was well organized, the facilitator was excellent and very engaging and knowledgeable. Learning ways to convert training to an online forum was well done and very eye opening.
