All right, you're almost done! 👏 Now that the framework is set, let's move on to choosing the best tools.

‍

The e-trainer must have a mastery of digital tools

‍

Being a good trainer also means constantly learning. It's important to update your skills and knowledge to be effective. In particular, it is essential to master the numerous digital tools. Here are the tools to facilitate the assimilation of the training modules.

‍

a) LMS platforms:

‍

An LMS platform is essential to manage your online training courses. An LMS is the ideal work tool, facilitating the effective distribution of training courses. All educational resources, as well as training courses, are centralized on a single platform.

‍

An LMS can also manage online and remote modules. For example, trainers have the option of organizing virtual courses or scheduling in-person courses directly from the platform.

b) Virtual classrooms:

‍

As part of an online training program, virtual classrooms are an excellent way to train distance learners while diversifying learning methods. By integrating virtual courses into the online training course, the independent trainer alternates between synchronous and asynchronous learning.

‍

Apprenticeship Synchronous Brings together learners and trainers in the same space-time, whether online or in person (through Virtual classrooms, of webinars, etc.). On the Other Hand, Apprenticeship asynchronous encourages the autonomy of learners through e-learning modules, forums, etc. The diversification of these modalities constitutes a comprehensive training offer, perfectly adapted to the needs of learners.

However, it is essential to note that facilitating a virtual classroom can be more complex than it seems. Trainers sometimes overlook the real challenge of keeping learners' attention at a distance.

‍

‍

To ensure effective facilitation of a virtual classroom, the trainer must:

• Ensure its vocal modulation and presentation to keep learners engaged without risking boring them.
• Encourage participation by asking questions and organizing interactive workshops
• Boost the course by integrating surveys, quizzes, and other interactive elements.
• Encourage participants' interaction with digital tools, such as allowing learners to speak, using a virtual “whiteboard”, and facilitating communication via chat.

‍

‍

c) Forum:

‍

The discussion forum represents an online space accessible to members of a group, promoting communication in an electronic, conversational, textual, and asynchronous manner. Organized into sub-spaces according to the evolution of discussions, the main objectives of this tool are to prevent the isolation of learners and to reduce the frequent dropout rate in online education. Its purpose is also to support work, collaboration, and learning through the exchange of asynchronous text messages.
