Virtual meetings and online learning praised by experts

by UK Virtual College


Video conferences and online lectures are effective means of employee training and development, audience members at the Associations Congress in London have been informed. According to experts speaking at the event, digital tools like webinars and live streaming offer workers a convenient way of accessing the information they need to thrive in their role. Wendy Holloway, operations manager for the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, said the video content launched by her organisation has had a number of benefits for members. While 80 per cent of her trainees identified the technology as main resource they want to use when they sign up, “we have found over the last two or three years that web lectures and online learning has become the second most important membership delivery,” she explained. This is likely to be because e-learning is a much more engaging way to train, and offers both employers and staff the flexibility to manage and study at their own pace.
