Facilitation Skills for face-to-face and Virtual training
As a trainer, have you ever been rushed to finish a class? Or realised too late that you have more information than time? Or wondered why some of your training classes finish early and others leave you gasping for air? Even the most seasoned trainers sometimes struggle with classroom time management. Time management concerns are amplified in the virtual classroom because synchronous online class are often shorter in length. Every single minute counts. Think about it: If you have and eight-hour, face-to-face class and you lose five minutes due to a discussion tangent, you can easily make it up at another point during the day. But in a 60 minute virtual session, if you spend an extra unplanned five minutes on a topic, then you’ve lost almost 10 percent of your available time!
Measuring and evaluating learning has earned a place among the critical issues in the learning and development and performance improvement fields. For decades, this topic has been on conference agendas and discussed at professional meeting. Journals and newsletters regularly embrace the concept, dedicating increased print space to it. Professional organisations have been created to exchange information on measurement and evaluation, and more than twenty-five books provide significant coverage of the topic. Even top executives have an increased appetite for evaluation data.
