Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

JEB BLOUNT

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Remote learning, in one form or another, has existed since the early 18th century when Caleb Phillips began offering correspondence courses in The Boston Gazette. For the past 300 years, virtual training has been meandering into shore on an inevitable yet slow building tide. And then, just like that, everything changed. In an instant, the tide became a tsunami.

The global pandemic of 2020 accelerated the broad adoption of virtual, instructor-led training. Leaders everywhere quickly discovered that virtual training combines the structure, accountability, and social learning benefits of classroom training with speed, agility, and significant cost savings. It enables organizations to rapidly upskill more people while generating a far higher return on the training investment. It 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. There are few people who have not had the pleasure of sitting through agonizing virtual training sessions. Death-by-voiceover PowerPoint, delivered by a disengaged instructor, has an especially bitter flavor.

Bestselling author and acclaimed trainer Jeb Blount set out to change how people perceive and experience virtual training. Virtual Training is the definitive guide to creating and delivering a legendary virtual learning experience that engages and inspires learners and makes knowledge stick.

Blount walks you through the five core elements of effective and engaging virtual, instructor-led training, including trainer mindset, mastering VILT production and technology, developing intuitive curricula, media, and course designs, honing your virtual communication skills, and dynamic and interactive training delivery methods.

You will gain the skills and confidence to effectively deliver training in a virtual classroom on any topic or subject and learn exactly how to turn the virtual classroom into a powerful learning experience.

Perfect for managers, executives, digital course creators, consultants, trainers, and other business leaders responsible for teaching new skills remotely, Virtual Training is an indispensable guide to creating engaging and memorable virtual learning experiences. When you leverage the tips, tactics, and techniques taught in this book, your learners will lean in, embrace virtual training, and wish they never have to go back to a physical classroom again.
