How To Invest in your Online-Virtual Learner? In-person or Virtual Training? What is best for my team? Webinars, in-person training, hands-on training, virtual training are all different and provide a variety of learning opportunities. As you support your staff development, the learning environment is a huge piece to effective learning. At CBA of GA, we continue making enhancements to our offerings while striving to provide learning environments that support the banker’s learning style. When your employee is participating in a virtual course, what can fellow team members do to support the online learner? 1. Set up a quiet location to connect to stable internet connection. 2. Provide a computer that has a camera and microphone so they can engage with the facilitator.
