5 Advantages Of Virtual Online Presentations

5 Advantages Of Virtual Online Presentations

  1. Online training leads to higher participation rates, with attendees logging in on time (instead of arriving up 10-15mins late, as they do sometimes in face-to-face training)

  2. Online training can be highly engaging, thanks to the increase and innovation of amazing technology tools for delivering content. When the presenter is energetic, whether in person or online, the participants feel it.

  3. Online training increases connection. It allows participants to attend from anywhere, at any time. Previously, regional and overseas participants were frequently disadvantaged when it came to learning and development opportunities due to the time, travel and budgetary constraints. Distance and budgets are no longer a barrier. This is a great advantage.

  4. Online training leads to more efficient training. It has been long understood that face-to-face programs can overload participants with too much information. Online delivery forces us to break down our content into digestible chunks and helps with greater retention of new learnings. In addition, the day-by-day demands of organisation’s operations mean that long, full-day delivery of training is no longer viable.

  5. Online training can be a safer, more inclusive environment. Some participants (especially introverted personalities) can sometimes struggle with a face-to-face format, whereas they ‘find their voice and can thrive in an online environment.
