Remote employees will still need to learn and develop professionally. Therefore, trainers and instructional designers need to step up their game and create the best asynchronous training experiences for them. Let’s explore some options:

As you transition your business to a remote working environment, you need to be patient,as not everyone will adjust overnight (and that is okay). The important thing is that you provide your team with every resource you can to ensure the success and growth of your business.

The very first step to take when designing asynchronous training experiences for remote learners is to decide where exactly on the synchronous-asynchronous spectrum the new online training course needs to be. There are at least four different types of training on this spectrum:

The transition to remote work can be somewhat bumpy,but it doesn’t have to be that hard. Leaders may find that their teams are actually able to be more productive and are more engaged when working from home, once provided with the right resources.

If you feel that when you are converting your existing classroom course to e-learning you are starting from scratch, it’s because you actually are. Even if you have all the information and don’t need to do research on the subject matter itself, the online environment is different, and learners expect something else entirely.

For your remote team to be productive, you should teach them to prioritize tasks, use effective communication apps, manage distractions, and solve problems effectively. With these skills, they’ll be more productive wherever they are.
