Faculty transitioning to online teaching

Faculty transitioning to online teaching 

Conventional in-person teaching is quite different from online teaching. It is more challenging to get the subject across online while keeping learners engaged. Moreover, there are a variety of educational platforms teachers and trainers must learn to use. Virtual teaching and training requires a new skill set, so educators, essentially, must go back to school to learn how to effectively teach in a virtual classroom.

Content creation tools 

With the rapid development of online security and safety procedures, work processes, and training requirements, pre-made training materials are an advantage. Here are two excellent content curation tools that allow companies to quickly create training or to use tested crowd-sourced programs. 

PinPoint workforce: Features a library of pre-built micro-learning and performance support content that can easily be implemented company-wide 

Lessonly: Offers pre-built trainings tailored to company needs (i.e., sales, customer service, remote work)
