Virtual corporate training sessions have gained in popularity in recent years and thus a study was commissioned to gauge its positive impacts over traditional classroom based coaching. This study made some interesting discoveries such as eighty six percent of the participants claiming that their engagement levels were equally good or higher during virtual sessions. Everyone polled answered that they were highly satisfied. In a test to evaluate their learning, average respondents scored a ninety percent, which is marginally higher than for those who undertook classroom coaching. In order to conduct the best of such virtual sessions, some suggestions have been put forward. The learning modalities must be adjusted as per requirements. A mistake that some training planners make is to reduce interaction and practice just to save time. This must be avoided by all means. Virtual tools can greatly increase engagement levels. Sessions must be well spaced so that participants get the time to absorb content and relax while engaging in other work as well. Source: https://trainingmag.com/virtual-vs-classroom-training
