If virtual Instructor Led Training (vILT) is in fact the outcome in workplace learning, I would consider it to be pretty significant: "Moving forward, the focus will still be on virtual learning. We estimate that 70% of learning will continue to be virtual in the future. People do appreciate in-person learning, and they want to be back in the classroom. The difference now is that, instead of in-person learning being a default approach, there needs to be a very good reason to go back in the classroom." Additionally, if most learning in the workplace is online, then aren't we failing students by preparing them with mainly in-person learning up until that point? After all, as this article describes, the experiences of and the skills needed for the two types of learning are very different.
