Are you guilty of turning your existing instructor-led training (ILT) into a webinar? Good virtual classroom training is more than simply showing some PowerPoint slides and reading the existing lesson plan. It's essential to have two-way communication and interactivity to keep your learners engaged every 3-5 minutes, which is best practice.

In this session, you'll gain the knowledge and skill you need to successfully convert your ILT to the virtual classroom (VC). We'll begin by looking at the suitability for conversion using a comprehensive checklist to assess whether a VC strategy is the best choice for your ILT content. You'll learn how to identify practice exercises/activities in your existing ILT content, determine if realistic practice is achievable in the VC, and how to set expectations with your client/stakeholders when realistic practice is not achievable. Next, we'll explore how to choose engaging, interactive methods and tools for the VC. You'll be provided a method conversion worksheet that will allow you to track all the components of the methods you selected. You'll walk away with an efficient and effective process, leaving enlightened and ready to convert!

In this session, you will learn:

• How to determine the suitability for conversion. Is your ILT course a good candidate for conversion? Use the suitability for conversion checklist to guide your decision.
• How to determine timing parameters. What will go into your live VC sessions, and what will be covered in intersession work?
• How to audit your existing ILT materials, using the course audit worksheet to document your findings in one location.
• How to choose engaging, interactive methods and tools. 
• How to use the method conversion worksheet to document your work and stay on track.
