The document outlines essential instructional materials needed for a virtual classroom, including facilitator guides, participant guides, and reference materials. It emphasizes the importance of having a 'host' or 'anchor' to support the facilitator and enhance participant engagement. The materials aim to provide clear instructions and resources for both instructors and learners to facilitate an effective virtual training experience.

1. Instructional Materials Required for the
Virtual Classroom

2. Whether you are using existing content or
building a Virtual Instructor-led Training program
from scratch, here are some instructional materials
you will need:
1. Facilitator guides
2. Participant guides and handouts
3. Reference material
Let’s explore them closely!
3 Types of Instructional Material

3. But First……
It is recommended to have a ‘host’ or ‘anchor’
who can support the facilitator in conducting
the session. The anchor can help:
• Run polls
• Set up and monitor breakout rooms
• Answer participant questions on using
the platform
……….. and more.
• Help them participate in activities
• Collate and display results
Now for the Instructional Material……

4. The facilitator guide offers the Instructor:
1. Facilitator Guide
• Insights on the content to be covered
• Detailed instructions on activities to be conducted:
 Duration of each activity
 Sequence of activities
 Formats – polls, annotations, or
breakout rooms
…… and more.

5. Participant guides should provide clear
instructions to help learners participate in
the session seamlessly.
2. Participant Guides and Handouts
Use participant handouts (such as worksheets)
to help learners complete individual/group
activities.
Handouts could include checklists, to-do
lists, infographics, PDFs, and other job-aids
learners can take away and refer/reuse back
on the job.

6. 3. Reference Material
Finally, reference material can include:
• A guide to help learners (and instructors
too!) become familiar with the platform
• Links to additional learning resources
(internal/external)
• PDFs such as glossaries and datasheets
