e-learning programs are less likely to follow
through than in an instructor-led program.‖


Jack Phillips, PhD

―In an instructor-led
process, there is often a
commitment made between
the participant and the
instructor that might
increase the likelihood of
participants applying what
was learned.‖


The Virtual Future

• 60% of corporate learning is still
delivered in the traditional (ILT) format.

VILT now use it as their dominant
