The document discusses Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT), describing it as a synchronous online training format that provides interactive learning experiences similar to physical classrooms while avoiding logistical challenges. It highlights essential materials required for VILT and outlines immersive eLearning strategies such as personalization, storytelling, and experiential learning. Additionally, it emphasizes the use of different video formats, like interactive and 360-degree videos, to enhance learning engagement and effectiveness.

1. Shift from the
Physical to the
Virtual Space

2. VILT is a synchronous online
training format that offers learners
the benefits of the human
interaction of a brick-n-mortar
classroom without the associated
costs and logistic headaches.
VILT isn’t a webinar or conducting an ILT
using a conferencing facility.

3. Materials

VILT
• An introductory ‘Getting Started
Webinar’ with hands on practice
• Facilitator PPTs
• Facilitator Guides (Word Docs) – with
content and information on how to use
the platform
• Participant materials

and effort – thanks to rapid eLearning.
Here are 3 easy ways to design immersive courses:
Immersive
eLearning
Strategies
Personalization Storytelling
Experiential Learning

6. PERSONALIZATION
Involve learners in the course.
Some proven ideas:
• Ask for and address them by name
• Provide a pool of characters they can choose from as a
guide
• Unlock navigation
• Use jargon, language they use
• Include snippets of challenges they face at work

7. STORYTELLING
Builds an emotional connect and empathy.
Use:
• Scenarios to help learners resolve real-life situations in a
fail-safe environment
• Case studies to help build their decision-making or
conflict-resolution skills
• Comic strips to provide a light touch or as transitions

8. Facilitate learning by doing.
Some proven ideas:
• Simulations to let learners watch, try, and do
• VR-based courses to provide learners a look and feel
of the work environment
• Learning through Exploration and Discovery (LEAD),
and game-based learning to offer flexibility
Experiential Learning

9. Advantages of Using Videos
Video has always been a favorite learning format and can be used across the learning journey – from gaining
attention to demonstrations and offering just-in-time learning.
3 popular video formats:
Interactive Videos 360-degree Videos
Animated / Illustrated Videos

10. ANIMATED OR
ILLUSTRATED VIDEOS
To:
• Showcase abstract concepts
• Hone decision-making skills
• Demo products or software
• Demo processes

11. INTERACTIVE VIDEOS
To:
• Overlay video with interactive elements
(such as hotspots and questions)
• Make video an active learning medium

12. 360-DEGREE VIDEOS
To:
• Offer learners a composite view of the environment
• Development made easy with authoring tools such as
