Topic #2 – Compare and Contrast Technology-based to Face-to-Face Training (Required)
As many organizations have increased remote workers due to the Coronavirus pandemic, these organizations have implemented more technology-based learning for their workforce. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages between technology-based approaches (such as Zoom, Skype, or other multimedia) training with in-person, face-to-face training for employees. As a designer, what learner/audience factors would you consider when selecting each of these delivery methods? What has been your experience with conducting these two kinds of employee training (F2F and Virtual)? Be sure to use at least two resources from the class.
