What Distinguishes Robust Virtual Classrooms?
The next chapter deals with the importance of building effective virtual classrooms. A 2013 paper by Cinthya C. Gutierrez, Sofia T. Baralt, and M. Brad Shuck of Florida International University stresses the importance of engagement to facilitate deep learning. According to this paper, in today’s fast-paced environment, highly demanding jobs and personal responsibilities force adults to compress learning into their lives.
Learning is a process that combines the cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of being. The ability of a person to learn is a vital part of human life. Learning includes many activities, especially for adult learners, that are related to change and are primarily focused on acquiring habits, knowledge, and attitudes. Learning is what occurs between the learner and their environment to help the learner become more capable of dealing adequately with their environment.
The Future Of Enterprise Virtual Training
The final chapter of this eBook discusses the future of enterprise virtual training and its solutions. The basis for this is two studies. The 2019 ATD State of the Industry report states that in 2018 organizations used virtual classrooms to deliver just 11% of their training. The COVID-19 pandemic has exponentially elevated the numbers.
A Learning Guild survey of members conducted in March 2020 found an important shift to online delivery of face-to-face courses and other learning experiences, “with 86% of respondents saying at least one or more events have or are moving to an online format.” A follow-up Guild survey conducted in May 2020 reveals that L&D professionals do not expect a return to the “normal” of 2019 any time soon.
