Virtual instructor-led training, or VILT, is one of the fastest-growing approaches to online learning. Organizations often incorporate VILT as a part of their training strategy for professional development, skills training, and employee onboarding. In this blog, we will speak about virtual instructor-led training that is transforming learning and training programs.

With the increasing number of internet users, more people can access e-learning platforms for learning courses or training programs. Employees worldwide are now using online learning to upskill at their jobs at a faster rate. This has affected the e-learning market. The E-learning market reached revenues of over USD 315 billion in 2021 and is projected to observe a 20% CAGR from 2022 to 2028. But why do employees prefer online training to conventional training programs? The flexibility that online training provides is the answer to this question. Online training comes with options to choose from. Whether the learners choose synchronous learning, which involves face-to-face interaction with the instructor, or asynchronous learning. You might be wondering what the second alternative is that allows you to skip face-to-face interactions. What does asynchronous learning mean exactly? Here we will speak a little about what the term asynchronous learning means and as well as discuss its importance in the modern world.

Online learning or e-learning is the fastest-growing market in the learning and training sector. According to research by Arizton, the global e-learning market will reach revenues of over $345 Billion during the period 2020-2025 (Source: Arizton, April 2020). E-learning uses information and communication as a learning mode and delivers electronically, using databases and LMSs. But what is LMS? Why should we use an LMS? In this blog, we will talk about LMS in brief. Then we will also talk about a free open source LMS.

Scenario-based learning is a unique approach that can improve e-learning. Scenario-based learning (SBL) provides an immersive training experience where learners meet realistic work challenges and get realistic feedback as they progress since everything that happens reflects the learner’s choices. Instructional designers try to include scenarios in a learning or training module to make it more relatable for the learners.

Online training is changing the way people learn and grow. In the modern world, traditional classroom teachings are taking a back seat, while virtual classrooms are taking the center space. E-learning has grown to be a significant component of employees’ professional development. It fosters the emergence of the necessity for employees to keep up with the rapid evolution of modern technology. Employers, therefore, are now focused on leveraging this mode of training for their employees.

Therefore, creating an effective e-learning design for the learners is very important.

What is an ADDIE Training Model? In an e-learning process, instructional designing enables consistency-across various courses and modules, developers, instructors, and designers. It pays attention to effective ways to [...]

Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues developed a taxonomy of learning objectives, where they structurally classified a system for defining and distinguishing different levels of human cognition. When organizing a learning event, one can use the taxonomy to measure what the participants are likely to know and what they need to learn. But the question is, can we use this in workplace training and development programs?
