Some research has been released by the Institute for Corporate Productivity in the US, about virtual classroom training.
A write up by Tom Stone (co-author of Interact & Engage!: 50 Activities for Virtual Training, Meetings, and Webinars) highlights some interesting results, including:
- Primary barriers to great virtual classroom training included lack of time for learners to devote to virtual classroom training (47%), lack of producers (44%) and senior leaders preferring other approaches (36%)
- And the areas of improvement was the interactivity and engagement of the training. Some more specific areas of improvement included:
- Upskilling of trainers
- Leveraging platforms designed for training and not just meetings
- Better preparing learners to use the technology ahead of time
- More intentionally designed content and materials (e.g., using a wider range of activities during each training event)

arnt these the commonly accepted best practices that we#ve been using for over a decade?

Agreed. But, is the point of the report to get those best practices out to a wider audience?
if so, it's a good thing :-) -. but, do those wider audiences already know these things?Â
Often people are aware of the existin best practices , but, for a variety of reasons avoid using them, such as no support from the boss / budget for engaging with a producer / professional host...Â
I guess that's what I mean by the wider audience, to the people that are making those investment and resource decisions. My own research is highlighting similar issues!
