The challenges with virtual classrooms

Virtual classrooms have dominated in 2020 and meant that some of us went from entirely face-to-face training very abruptly to live online learning. Whilst this time last year was an extraordinary time, 12 months later we need to focus on developing what we’ve learned about digital learning and make it even better for what our learners need right now.

One of the challenges with virtual classrooms, and any digital learning, is that many people are trying to just replicate a physical classroom experience, with webcams, open microphones, and not adapting to make the most of the technology. The other big challenge is in our own approach in understanding how current training and learning skills convert to work well in the virtual classroom.

Improving virtual classrooms

These challenges are what virtual classroom specialist Jo Cook will tackle in this interactive webinar. Jo will discuss with you:

  • The challenges of current virtual classroom approaches

  • Focus on the skills people already have and how they are relevant to live online delivery

  • Share four approaches to ensuring that virtual classrooms are fit for 2021
