Remote learning has been around since the 18th century. Caleb
Phillips began advertising correspondence courses in the Boston
Gazette in 1728 allowing people, for the first time, to learn new
skills no matter where they lived. For the past 300 years, virtual
training, in its various formats, has been meandering into shore on
an inevitable yet slow building tide. And then, just like that,
everything changed. A global pandemic. Social distancing. Working
from home. In an instant, the tide became a tsunami. The global
pandemic accelerated the broad adoption of virtual instructor led
training along with awareness that classroom-based training is
often expensive, inefficient, and fails to deliver a fair return on
investment. While it is certainly more challenging to re-create the
collaborative environment of the physical classroom in a virtual
setting, virtual training combines the structure, accountability,
and social learning benefits of classroom training with speed,
agility, and significant cost savings. Simply put, virtual training
enables organizations to rapidly upskill more people, while
generating a far higher return on the training investment. Virtual
training is also green. Studies indicate that virtual training
consumes nearly 90% less energy and produces 85% fewer CO2
emissions than classroom training. Still, the biggest challenge
with virtual training, and the reason there has been so much
resistance to it, is historically the experience has been
excruciating. Not the quality of the curriculum or content. Not the
talent of the trainer. The learning experience. There are few
people who haven't had the pleasure of sitting through agonizing
virtual training sessions. Death by voice over PowerPoint,
delivered by a disengaged instructor, has an especially bitter
flavor. It is the way virtual training is delivered that matters
most. When the virtual learning experience is emotionally positive:
Participants are more engaged, embrace new competencies, and
knowledge sticks Participants are more likely to show up to class
and be open to future virtual training Trainers enjoy their work
