Face to face training v online training

I'm just off to deliver a two day workshop, and I love it. There is no better way to train, in my view, than working and interacting with real people. But, that said, I am also a big fan of online training. I often include online elements to reinforce training sessions, so delegates can go online and work out problems, download information and podcasts and try techniques long after the session has finished.

But as stand alone training, online has many advantages:
  • Cost - no transport or venue costs
  • Timing - people can learn in their own time and own pace
  • Testing - you can make sure lessons have been learned, not just attended
  • Revision - people can easily go back
  • Geography - learners can be in different locations, even timezones
  • Demonstration - using photographs, moving diagrams, audio and video
