Dispelling the Myths and Misconceptions About VILT

Understand the common myths about VILT

Can live online training include hands-on exercises? How do learners ask for help? What needs to change when an in-person course moves into a virtual classroom?

This free, 12-page eBook examines eight common myths about virtual instructor-led training, or VILT. It explains the role of classroom interaction, virtual labs, instructor preparation, and learner support when evaluating live online delivery.

Questions the guide explores

• Interaction: how chat, whiteboards, help queues, and group activities can support participation.
• Hands-on learning: how virtual training labs give learners a place to practice software tasks during a class.
• Costs and convenience: which differences to consider when comparing virtual and in-person delivery.
• The transition: how classroom tools, online labs, introductory slides, and instructor practice fit into a migration plan.
• Learner confidence: how orientation and familiar tools help students prepare to participate online.

Use it to prepare a better training conversation

The guide is useful for training managers, instructors, and stakeholders evaluating VILT for the first time. Bring it to an internal discussion to separate questions about the delivery format from questions about the tools, exercises, and support your course needs.
