</div>Three Tips to Introduce Virtual Classroomshttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/learning-professionals/three-tips-to-introduce-virtual-classrooms2017-01-13T11:10:48.000Z2017-01-13T11:10:48.000ZAdy Howeshttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/members/AdyHowes<div><p>We've moved on from the years that the classroom training was the only option for organisations. With the introduction of Virtual Classroom technology, teams that are geographically spread can now meet up online to connect, collaborate and learn. Many organisations are using this as part of their 21st century blended learning approach.</p>
<p>But using Virtual Classrooms isn't just a case of dumping content that was used in the face to face envrionment onto a platform with the hope that it has the same impact. Nor is it about producing Powerpoint led presentations that see the attendee listening for a long time to a one way presentation. There are techniques in engaging people online that are very different to face to face.</p>
<p>A couple of years ago, I caught up with Kassy LaBorie, a global Virtual Classroom expert at <a href="http://www.dalecarnegie.com/online-training/" target="_blank">Dale Carnegie Digital</a>, to find out what she had to say about introducing this approach into organisations. Below is a clip of what she had to say, giving you three tips to help you introduce Virtual Classrooms into any organisation.</p>
<p>If you're interesting in watching some good webinars and learning from the best, then I highly recommend you check out those from the <a href="https://www.thelpi.org/events-2/webinars-and-recordings/" target="_blank">Learning and Performance Institute</a> as well as those from <a href="https://www.trainingjournal.com/webinars" target="_blank">Training Journal</a>.</p>

With the presence of so much video on the internet, people expect video to be part of the mix.</p>
<p>In a feature on Learning Now TV, Tom Spiglanin talked about five gifts for videographers to solve some of the common issues we all come across when making videos. He divided them into three areas; sound, light and stability and gave one or two pieces of equipment that are available to help with those issues without breaking the bank.</p>
<p>For anyone involved in producing video for learning, it’s well worth a watch, which you can do by signing up free to Learning Now TV. Ok, I know Christmas has passed, but maybe there are some birthdays coming up or possibly some budget going spare!</p>
