Authoring Tools
Transforming from traditional to online training sessions was once seen as a headache, especially by trainers. However, today, thanks to the development of authoring tools, it is as easy as pie. Authoring tools allow trainers to develop content including text, videos, and other forms of media without the need to use coding.
This has opened doors for even those trainers who are not tech-savvy but wish to share their knowledge with others who are eager to learn.
There are mobile eLearning authoring tools that make it possible for learners to access training even with their mobile phones. As there are no restrictions to location and time, learners automatically seem a lot more interested.

A learning management system has proven to be one of the best tools that have been launched in the market. This is a cloud-based platform that makes it convenient for trainers to not only create but also execute and monitor training sessions.

Tracking and reporting allow trainers to understand how effective their sessions are and make improvements in their sessions accordingly.
The best part about LMS is that you can end your training with a formal certification which induces a sense of gratification amongst employees.
Web Conferencing Tool
Your training sessions will most probably be pre-recorded. That does not mean that you execute a training session and leave it as it. In order to make learning more effective, engage with your audience.
What better way to communicate than virtually face-to-face? There are several web conferencing tools that you can adopt. With these tools, you can conduct post-training sessions with your learners.
Give learners a platform to understand their fellow virtual classmates, solve their issues in real-time, and build stronger relationships over video chats to make your training more effective.
