It’s day 40 of the Effective Virtual Conversations Daily reading series. Today I’m pleased to take you through pages 112 – 116 of Chapter 4. In this chapter I explore nine different types of virtual conversation areas.

Today’s reading takes us into:

• Category #1 – E-Learning – From safety training to asynchronous learning, e-learning is a popular approach to learning and is currently regaining in popularity, given the need to covert almost all training online.
• Category #2 – Instructor Led Learning in the Virtual Space – From webinars, to interactive web-based training, instructor led training can take several forms.

​Listen in as I share more detail about both approaches.

Tomorrow we’ll be exploring several other categories so stay tuned.

Think about your work and what approaches are going to serve you best.

Enjoy the conversation!
