How do you structure a virtual training session?

A well-structured virtual training session balances content delivery, learner interaction, and practice within clear, manageable time blocks.

Structure keeps learners focused and sessions on track. Start with an engaging opening that sets expectations and activates prior knowledge. Deliver content in short, interactive bursts—using polls, chat, and breakout rooms to reinforce learning. Include hands-on application before closing with a strong recap and next steps. A producer can help you stay on time and manage transitions smoothly.

Example of a Virtual Session Structure:

• Opening (5–10 minutes): Set goals, review agenda, activate prior knowledge.
• Core Content (30–60 minutes): Present in 10–15 minute blocks with interaction.
• Practice/Application (15–30 minutes): Use breakouts, scenarios, or group tasks.
• Closure (5–10 minutes): Summarize takeaways, prompt reflection, assign follow-up.
