Small and medium businesses (SMBs) can reap the same rewards at their own scale. For SMBs, remote training courses are often the more effective option, and here\u2019s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Virtual training is cheaper\u2014both for employers and employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual instructor-led training (VILT) means that presenters and employees can save money on logistics, travel costs, accommodation, venues, and snacks. This reduces the pressure on organizers to cram too much information into a few days or hours. The resources could instead be diverted to improving the remote learning experience<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">including holding real-time online training sessions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as the business scales up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Virtual training supports the way individuals learn<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A learning dump as described above isn\u2019t exactly conducive to either satisfactory learning experiences or long-term retention. Consistent, bite-sized lessons are often much more effective. According to the theory of \u201cThe Forgetting Curve,\u201d about 75% of new information is forgotten within a week if it isn\u2019t applied:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46611\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-forgetting-curve.png\" alt=\"the forgetting curve\" width=\"636\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training in a virtual environment allows you to teach the way people learn. And to maximize the effectiveness of your virtual courses, it may be worth investing in training for your instructors with a view to them becoming accredited virtual trainers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Participants can join in from wherever they are<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With virtual training, employees can have access to the same standardized curriculum whether they\u2019re at the headquarters in New York or tuning in from vacation in Nepal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to encourage adoption and participation? One of the easiest ways to do that is to simply make the remote training course more accessible (for instance, by working with different time zones) and the virtual classroom more interactive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Virtual training allows participants to pace themselves<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different people learn differently, and with the sophisticated tech available today, we can ditch the one-size-fits-all approach. With recorded e-learning sessions or open online course-style training, participants can return to the material if they need a refresher. This could be via smartphone on their commute, their PC in the office, or a laptop when working remotely<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3>5. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Virtual trainings are more easily customizable<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thinkers50.com\/blog\/qa-monika-hamori-professor-ie-business-school-madrid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researcher Monica Hamori<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says that for best results, individuals should be matched to different training formats and different topics, based on the skills that <em>they\u2019ll<\/em> need to put to use in the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46612\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46612\" style=\"width: 937px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46612 size-full\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ringcentral-webinar.png\" alt=\"ringcentral webinar\" width=\"937\" height=\"459\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46612\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For example, sometimes, a webinar might be your best virtual training tool because it&#8217;s convenient.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(This would be harder to execute in traditional classroom-based training, but it\u2019s possible with remote training technology\u2014like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral Video!)<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a name=\"How to set up a virtual training session on RingCentral Video in 5 steps\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to set up a virtual training session on RingCentral Video in 4 easy steps<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral Video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes it ridiculously easy to organize virtually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anything<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that involves communication across distances.

Prepare<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With RingCentral Video, you won\u2019t need complicated tech-checks and sound-checks hours before the virtual training meeting. However, facilitators still need to have easy access to the presentations and multimedia materials you want to use. Here are a few preparation tips\u2014whether you\u2019re using RingCentral Video or any other virtual training tool:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Clean up your desktop so you have all your files easily accessible during the training.<\/li>\n<li>Set up a second display monitor. This will make it easier for you to manage the materials and programs you might have open while running your online trainings. Make sure you don\u2019t have unwanted websites (like social media) open on your browser.<\/li>\n<li>Facilitators who are subject matter experts (SME) often suffer from the \u201ccurse of knowledge.\u201d This is a cognitive bias that makes them think that other people have the same level of context and background info that they do (which isn\u2019t always the case). Have a non-SME or a layperson sit in on a dry run (or observe the actual webinar) to evaluate the accessibility of the presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Step 4. On the day of the training, make sure everything goes smoothly with RingCentral Video\u2019s custom options<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Familiarize yourself with all the options available to you in advance. This will help you have an easier time presenting your virtual classroom training. Don\u2019t forget to check if you have a good internet connection and that your webcam and headset are working properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>1. <em>Bar latecomers from entering<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>If you really want to enforce punctuality, you can also \u201clock\u201d the meeting room (so no more people can enter after a certain time):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4552 size-medium\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image5-61.png\" alt=\"Locking a remote training session in RingCentral Video\" width=\"695\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>2. <em>Mute yourself (see #1)<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Background noise is minimized to a large extent on RingCentral Video, but if you\u2019re in a particularly bustling place, hit the microphone-shaped icon on your main dashboard to mute the mic. It\u2019s also worth considering investing in a noise-cancelling headset if you\u2019re in an environment that has lots of outside noises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>3. <em>Mute your participants (see #6)<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The icon next to \u201cInvite Participants\u201d takes you to a menu of controls that allows you to mute your participants\u2019 audio, so you can focus on presenting. RingCentral\u2019s new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/virtual-backgrounds-closed-captioning-and-more-for-your-video-meetings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">closed captioning feature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also help attendees keep up with a presentation when they\u2019re in noisy environments by automatically converting what\u2019s being said into real-time captions on the screen.
