Book description
E-learning and online training continue to grow in popularity. Online training carries no travel costs, and can be done using mostly free or cheap technology. Still some trainers are hesitant to jump into the realm of virtual training because they are uncertain of the technology or even how to get started. Virtual Training Basics will help you learn the fundamentals of online training and deliver training sessions that are as engaging and informative as in person. Virtual Training Basics is the perfect book for trainers who want to begin facilitating synchronous online training. This easy-to-read book introduces readers to technology and software that make virtual training possible. Readers will also learn how to develop their multi-tasking skills, engage their participants, harness the power of their voice, prepare their workstation for success, troubleshoot technology issues on the fly, and more.
