Adapting to online
Need support in transforming training for virtual delivery, building and using virtual classrooms and coaching for a virtual world?
The world of work has changed – and it has been a lot faster than anticipated. With a growing need for online training to keep teams performing at their peak, we’re working to support you in delivering a great experience for your leaders online.
Adapting face to face training for virtual delivery
If you have critical operations or a structured face to face program to deliver on your business needs, converting your material, storytelling techniques, collaboration, policies and procedures into a digital format could be presenting barriers like:
- Selecting the ‘right’ delivery format
- Converting face to face content to suit a blended format
- Creating interactive scenarios
- Understanding how learners interact differently in a virtual space
- Time and resource turn it around quickly.
Where do you start?
Review your existing learning material and consider which elements can be translated to digital learning, which can be delivered through virtual classrooms and where the gaps might be. If you have the capabilities within your business, look to leverage best practice online learning design so that you can rapidly deploy your new training in weeks, not months.

Delivering training through virtual classrooms
Virtual classroom learning is becoming an increasingly popular delivery component in the modern workplace. The advantages of providing short, live online and synchronous learning that can be combined more easily with a learner’s flow of work are becoming increasingly well recognised. Shorter durations, easy global reach, reduced training delivery and subsistence costs and opportunity to link with other digital approaches and technologies. But how to you begin to build effective virtual classrooms?
- Choosing your virtual classroom technology
- Structuring a virtual classroom session
- Engagement and delivery
Where do you start?
Deciding to deliver any new training virtually is a great step forward to supporting your teams. If it’s a simple information sharing session as part of a wider blend, a webinar could suffice – but for more in-depth training needs, a virtual classroom could offer the functionality you need.
We’ve produced a self-service guide to developing your own virtual classroom sessions.

Coaching in a virtual world
Coaching is one of the interventions that can have most impact on your business – and you don’t want it to fall by the wayside in the new world of online working. Research by the International Personnel Management Association (IPMA) found that ‘training on its own increases productivity by 22%, whereas combining it with coaching increases productivity by 88%’. But how can you capitalise on coaching when teams are based remotely?
