Book Synopsis
The Definitive A-to-ZGuidebook on Virtual Training Is your virtual training
getting the results you want? The ability to deliver training at any time and
to any location allows maximum flexibility for organizations and learners, which

Guidebook, second edition, is a
resource that will make the difference for beginners and veterans alike. It is a
comprehensive and accessible manual for anyone who needs to create robust
employee training solutions that solve real-world business challenges. Novices
and experienced training professionals will find field-tested advice on
choosing the right technology for their organization's training needs,
designing and facilitating classes that help all participants level up their
skills, developing more engaging activities for learners, measuring success, and
turning virtual training programs into valuable contributors to talent
development and the bottom line. The new edition includes:
- Step-by-step instructions for designers, facilitators, producers,
administrators, and participants on how to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness - Dozens of new and updated case studies and practical checklists,
templates, and worksheets - Expanded coverage of accessibility, hybrid learning, and immersive
technologies - A look at what's trending in global classrooms and mobile technology
Looking for a workbook on
implementing key lessons from the guidebook? Be sure to check out the companion
volume, Virtual Training Tools and Templates, featuring 185 checklists,
questionnaires, templates, and other practical tools. These two volumes
combined cover what you need to know to design and deliver successful virtual
