In the current challenging economic climate, many organizations
are looking to virtual training as a way of reducing training
costs. However, many trainers are suspicious, believing that
virtual training reduces satisfaction, learning and impact.
The one-hour keynote will explore four case studies for how
different in-person courses were adapted for virtual delivery,
including describing the process, challenges and results.
The following 90-minute workshop will then explore the ten key
steps in virtualizing training, using the case studies as examples.
Both the keynote and the workshop describe specific
approaches that can be adopted by most organizations.
In addition, examples are backed up by multi-year evaluation
data that show the effectiveness of the designs, and allow
comparison between in-person and virtual designs.
By the end of the sessions, you will:
* Have a clear picture of how and why two Washington-based
organizations have transitioned some of their training to virtual
delivery
* Feel more comfortable when making decisions about what in-
person training could be considered for virtual delivery
* Understand the lessons learned from other organizations, and
so can avoid the pit-falls when implementing your own virtual
deliveries
The keynote and workshop are led by Darren Short and Jill
Mussman. Darren is Director of Global Learning & Development
at Avanade, Inc. – a 9000-employee global high-tech consulting
company based out of Seattle. Darren leads a team of US and
India-based HRD professionals who have designed and run
hundreds of successful virtual classes for thousands of
employees worldwide. Jill Mussman leads the training
technology mavens at BECU, the largest Credit Union based in
Washington State and the fourth largest Credit Union in the US.
We are honored to have both Darren and Jill back presenting
as a team together. Please plan on joining us for this great
opportunity and attend the March 17th meeting of the Inland
Northwest chapter of ASTD.
