The pandemic affected every aspect of business, and L&D was no exception. While video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Teams, WebEx, and others meet the communication needs of many areas of your organization, the requirements for experiential learning are much harder to address. Learning experiences centric to soft skills –leadership, communications, teamwork, problem solving, and others—require more than the presentation of videos, static PDFs, or PowerPoint presentations.
These learning experiences traditionally are done in person, because social engagement is key to their success. This session will compare and contrast the flexibility of asynchronous learning management systems with the social engagement contributions of video conferencing and how a next generation virtual classroom can bring the very best of in-person learning to your organization’s online training.
