Description

Long before the world became familiar with COVID-19, bold strides were being made to marry virtual technology with the learning space. Yet while tools such as simulation, video conferencing and virtual reality were being put into increased practice, the advent of the global pandemic turned what were once curious considerations into worldwide imperatives.
 
This new era for both business and for education means that the delivery of knowledge to students, workers, leaders and learners will be from a distance. In Southern California, for example, the state’s two biggest districts have declared they will begin the new school year with full-time distance learning. In the corporate realm, the Harvard Business Review reports that the majority of CFOs will be shifting at least 20% of their workforce to a permanent virtual model going forward.
 
If virtual learning is here to stay, what will this mean for those tasked with pivoting their delivery to replicate or even ameliorate what was traditionally an in-person endeavor? How might we create better and bolder virtual experiences that inspire and impact our audiences? And how might these learnings look different from space to space?
 
Join Tom Merrill, Master Facilitator at ExperiencePoint and Tanya Bell, Director of Customer Experience at ExperiencePoint for a live and interactive 60-minute webinar to discover:  
  • How ExperiencePoint successfully pivoted from its traditional in-person workshop delivery to offering highly immersive, virtual learning experiences, and the lessons learned along the way.
  • Tips, tricks and tools for creating and delivering the most engaging virtual learning and collaboration experiences possible.
  • Common pitfalls of virtual learning and how to overcome each.
