Industry experts, Jennifer Hofmann and Nanette Miner,
Ed.D, have teamed up to create The Synchronous
Training Primer to assist in establishing best-practices
for this fast growing training medium. The Synchronous
Training Primer will begin to answer such questions
as:
- What benefits are there to the company and to the participant
over traditional CBT or classroom training?
- What is the new role of the instructor, the instructional
designer, the SME?
- What technological considerations need to be addressed: bandwidth,
firewalls, audio, video?
- What is the best way for a new synchronous trainer to master
the medium?
- How to overcome - indeed, how to benefit from - the lack of
face-to-face interaction.
"Synchronous training should not mean being engaged with
a computer, it should mean being engaged with other people, or
with content, via very relevant learning activities. I know I've
been successful when people say to me, 'I almost forgot that I
wasn't in a "real classroom," because I was interacting
with other people, it was fun, and I learned something,"
says Jennifer Hofmann, one of the pioneers in the field of synchronous
training. This engaging audio interview will assist those who
are struggling with the "either/or" choices usually
associated with CBT or classroom training. Synchronous training
is the most effective live training, via an on-line environment.
