eLearning (eLF) Forum: Is Virtual Learning More Engaging Than a Classroom?

Can virtual learning be so engaging and interactive that participants prefer it to a live classroom? Let’s find out!

Join us in September for a highly interactive, “blended” eLF meeting where we will observe, explore, and practice engagement techniques for creating collaborative virtual classroom environments. 

This month’s meeting is a two-part mini-boot camp consisting of:

Prework
Meeting prework consists of a TrainingIndustry.com Adobe-sponsored webinar presented by Cynthia Clay, CEO of NetSpeed Learning Solutions, who will discuss six techniques for creating an engaging virtual experience. The live webinar was held on August 28, but you can still view the asynchronous (on-demand) version.

• Navigate to http://www.trainingindustry.com/webinars/crossing-the-chasm-to-engaging-virtual-facilitation.aspx
• Follow the on-screen instructions for registering.
• Watch and listen to the seminar when you have time

Practice Session
The September 12 eLF meeting will provide an environment where we can:

• Explore the tips, tools, and techniques outlined in the pre-work seminar.
• Break into small group to practice the techniques by designing a virtual facilitation program.
