The Program Developer (or Designer\/Architect), Administrator (or Coordinator), Host (or Producer\/Moderator), the Presenter (or Facilitator\/Instructor\/Trainer), a Guest Speaker, Technical Support person and finally the Participant are critical roles. For smaller programs and organizations, one person may take multiple roles.<\/p>\n<p>While most of these practices are platform independent, some of the features discussed are only available on certain virtual classroom solutions. Some of proposed activities in this E-book are taken from another of our publications, the <em>Building Effective Virtual and Remote Teams Handbook<\/em> (2011), where they are described in step-by-step detail.<\/p>\n<p>The overall goal of these best practices is to help ensure the Virtual an effective learning experience for the participants, ensure the learning objectives are accomplished and Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) is highly effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This 212 page e-book can be purchased for $29.95 in Canadian funds or $24.95 in U.S. funds by clicking below.\u00a0 Your E-Book will be sent to you as a PDF by E-Mail within 24 hours of your purchase.
