Cost Savings (Reduced travel/time costs) Better Knowledge Transfer (Shorter, more frequent sessions) Leverage Content (Use existing ILT material) Industry Shift: 23% Increase in Online ILT* the PROS * 2010 SOIR Report
Industry Shift: 23% Increase in Online ILT* • Less Engaging (Ranked #1 VILT Problem) • Less Personal (Field staff less connected) • WeakerOutcomes (Less effective than face-to-face) the CONS * 2010 SOIR Report
Reason for Cons: Available tools were not designed for online ILT Learners using web conferencing tools are not even viewing the shared content window over 60% of the time. - ASTD 2010 Report
Reason for Cons: Available tools were not designed for online ILT • Web Conferencing • Passive, non-engaging • Built for one-way broadcasting • Limited content integration • Video Conferencing • Limited scalability (8-9) • Requires extra hardware • No sense of presence
Web Conference Broadcasting Model Isolated Passive Powerless Disengaged Tired
