Virtual Instructor

Program Overview

In this virtual, 6-session, program you will gain the skills, techniques and confidence required to deliver effective and highly engaging learning in the virtual classroom. Whether you are a new instructor or just new to delivering synchronous learning, this program offers plenty of hands-on practical application and strategies to transition from the traditional to the virtual classroom.

This dynamic program is delivered online, presenting a variety of interactive techniques and activities that model best practices in a virtual classroom environment. As a participant in this program, you will learn to manage the virtual environment and apply techniques specifically designed to motivate learners and effectively transfer skill and knowledge. You will have plenty of opportunity to apply a systematic learning process, adult learning principles, and instructional techniques for the virtual classroom. You will present two online lessons, based on your work-related content, and immediate receive feedback from our CTT+ Virtual Classroom Trainer certified facilitator as well as recordings of your lessons (and feedback) for personal viewing and future reference.

You will experience the virtual classroom from both the learner’s and facilitator’s perspectives.

NOTE: Participation in this program requires the use of VOIP communications. A computer headset is highly recommended for best audio quality. We also recommend a hardwired internet connection rather than wifi.
