Is Your Training Department Ready for VILT?

A VILT readiness checklist for your training team

Moving an instructor-led course online takes more than choosing a meeting tool. Your team needs to prepare instructors, explain the approach to stakeholders, evaluate vendors, and plan how each class will run.

This free, 21-page eBook helps you review those decisions before launch. Answer 12 yes-or-no questions in the interactive PDF, follow the links to practical tips, and return to the checklist as you work through each area.

What the readiness checklist covers

• Stakeholder education: explain how a virtual classroom differs from a webinar and plan a demonstration of the learner experience.
• Return on investment: identify the travel, facilities, materials, and delivery costs to consider when making the case for virtual training.
• The move online: review instructor skills, vendor selection questions, training requirements, and a pilot class.
• Class delivery: plan technical assistance, materials distribution, and contingencies for live sessions.

Use it before your first virtual class

The guide is written for training managers and teams moving customer, employee, or partner training from an in-person classroom to live online delivery. Use it as a discussion guide with your instructors and IT team, then identify what needs attention before a pilot.

For the delivery options behind that plan, explore virtual instructor-led training and hands-on virtual IT labs. If your team still has questions about the format, read the companion guide to common VILT myths.
