Virtual training, also referred to as synchronous online training, has a great deal to offer organizations and individuals who value the personal touch of face-to-face training but are restricted by geography, budget, or in more recent cases, worldwide pandemics.
One of the main challenges of online education is getting both faculty and students to adapt to and trust it. However, once they’re onboard, it’s easy to see how eLearning can generate positive academic results without a physical classroom or complement face-to-face learning in a hybrid model. This article looks at the benefits of open-source eLearning and how and why institutions choose to migrate to new providers in this space.

One of the most unique and stubborn challenges for online learning is building engagement. In a brick-and-mortar classroom, student engagement is enhanced by the physical limitations imposed by space and time as well as the various interactive moments instructors construct to provoke thought and response. Online, those factors do not lie in favor of the classroom content, so engagement needs to be fostered in ways that work asynchronously for diverse learners in a range of locations.
Education and technology have merged during the 21st century to become a powerful force for learning. Moving past traditional classroom or training conferences, eLearning has opened onboarding potential for new hires, allows users to network, learn and explore anywhere, and makes it easy to recertify licenses with online continuing education courses.
In order to ensure effective and successful education and training, it is important to deliver a great content experience for your learners. A content hub is critical to expanding learning opportunities and enhancing the learning experience, yet it is common for companies to slight this portion of the development and focus more on compliance, shortchanging the eLearning library itself.
