The Two Keys to Successful ILT & VILT
The two key factors that determine if an instructor-led training session will be successful are the knowledge and preparedness level of the instructor.
This applies to both virtual and traditional classroom training. If the instructor doesn’t know the subject or is not properly prepared to teach the course content in the format and timeframe designated by the learning session’s design, then the session’s successful outcome is determined purely by chance.
Success by pure chance happens when the documentation necessary to support successful delivery falls short. All too often, Facilitator Guides are little more than a set of PowerPoint slides & notes. They are always organized differently, depending on who created them. And they typically leave a lot to the imagination of the Facilitator, making big assumptions about the facilitator’s ability to correctly execute vague instructions like “describe the cornerstones of our customer support commitment” or “review our safety protocol.”
However, the writing of this type of educational material is no small task. It requires significant time and effort to do it correctly. In addition to subject matter expertise, it requires consistency and an ability to build multi-purpose documentation that concisely and completely covers instructor preparation and supports real-time live delivery. Because this job is so difficult and time-consuming and expensive, even the most robust organizations typically default to inadequate documentation and the resulting “success by pure chance” for their ILT & VILT.
To eliminate this problem of success by pure chance we developed LeaderGuide Pro, the only tool dedicated to developing Facilitator Guides and participant materials to support ILT & VILT.
