In-Person vs. Online Learning: Choosing the Right Modality for You & Your Organization
On Demand
About the Webinar
Today’s hybrid workplace — with some working in-person, others working remotely, and still others in a combination of the two — brings new challenges, as well as opportunities, for both individuals and organizations. Across the globe, people are weighing in person versus online learning.
And what about development? Does it matter whether that happens in-person or virtually? How you decide between in person training vs. online training for leaders? And what about synchronous vs asynchronous options? The choices can feel overwhelming.
Research shows that effective leadership development targets a leader’s specific challenges and strengths. To sustain lasting behavior change and learning transfer, learners need personalized attention, actionable feedback, tangible and engaging learning experiences, along with ongoing support. It’s also essential to consider the leader as a whole person, both in their leadership journey and their responsibilities outside of work.
While every delivery modality has its strengths, one may be a better fit at different times, depending upon the needs and situation of each leader. This guiding principle can help you decide when to opt for in-person versus online learning, or a blended approach.
What You’ll Learn
In this webinar, you’ll learn what to consider when you’re looking at in person versus online learning for your organization. Hear from our panel of leadership experts about the considerations for in-person, online, and live, synchronous vs. asynchronous development modalities. You’ll discover how the ideal training delivery method might shift over the course of a leader’s career journey. Key takeaways will include:
- The benefits and advantages of in person training vs. online training for leadership development, within the context of lifelong learning (not microlessons).
- How human-centered development experiences can be translated for in-person versus online delivery modalities to target the specific challenges faced at every leader level.
- How in-person, live online, and asynchronous online development can each impact sustainable behavior change, using first-level leader programs as an example.
We can help you determine whether in person versus online learning is right for your organization, and we offer an array of proven new manager courses in both modalities to suit whatever works best for your leaders.
