You're struggling to foster community in remote training programs. How can you ensure collaboration thrives?

Co-creation is the next best thing to collaboration! Here's how to ensure community thrives: CO-CREATE CONTENT - Involve participants in content development - Encourage sharing experiences and expertise - Use collaborative tools for content creation SOCIAL LEARNING PLATFORMS - Utilize online platforms for community building - Encourage participants to share, like, and comment VIRTUAL SOCIAL EVENTS - Host virtual social events, like virtual coffee breaks - Encourage informal networking By doing this you'll build a thriving community in your remote training programs!

It seems especially relevant to take into account, in this area, the characteristics that define both online education and the online learner. When we approach an online training program, we have a student who receives the training and is undoubtedly different in habits, maturity, and working style compared to an in-person student. In this regard, the instructor must take the channel into account, synthesize the message effectively, communicate clearly and attractively, and make the most of the multiple technological tools that today's online training platforms offer, while avoiding at all costs behaving and using training methods in the same way as we do in the in-person channel.

I personally love online sessions due to the advanced tools. The breakout rooms are big blessings for having discussions on case study or a problem analysis. Once there is a synergy & comfort formed, automatically the involvement will be better. But its upto the trainer to bring the dynamics in the session. If the trainer is progressive, assertive & entertaining, then automatically people will be Fully involved.
