Training Outsourcing

  
Although this quote applies to most training initiatives, it is even more relevant to the design and implementation of Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT), the online counterpart to traditional Instructor-Led Training (ILT). With the conflicting requirements of travel costs and the need to reach a larger learner base, organizations are searching for increasingly cost-effective methods to deliver effective training. The data produced by this survey reveals that VILT is one of the fastest growing techniques selected to resolve this paradox. VILT delivers an appealing and efficient alternative to the time, travel and resources required by instructor-led training. As the technologies to support VILT continue to improve in availability, functionality and ease of use, organizations are increasingly turning to this technology as a solution. The apparent question is now how to create “effective” VILT sessions.
