Today, more than ever, there is a need to ensure that virtual learning works to improve organizational outcomes.

Because of the surge in work-at-home arrangements and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 crisis, most learning has shifted to virtual learning. This requires program owners to design virtual learning with desired outcomes in mind and demonstrate that the virtual format works.

Studies show that virtual learning often breaks down when measured at the application level (using what was learned) and impact level (the business impact connected to learning).

However, this breakdown can be avoided. To secure the support and funding that virtual learning needs, it must deliver business results. This session highlights an ROI study that shows how virtual learning delivered business value in terms that executives, sponsors, and funders appreciated and understood.

This session explains how designers, developers, providers, and program owners can ensure that technology-based learning will deliver desired results by applying design-thinking principles that focus on delivering application and impact with virtual learning.

Objectives
After attending this session, participants should be able to:

1. Identify the five levels of outcomes from virtual learning.
2. Describe why virtual learning fails to deliver application and impact.
3. Explain the need to deliver impact and ROI for selected virtual learning programs.
4. Design virtual learning to deliver application, impact, and ROI, using design-thinking principles.
5. Plan next steps to ensure virtual learning delivers business value.

Note: Materials Tools, templates, case studies, job aids, and a chapter from the book, Measuring the Success of Learning Through Technology: A Guide for Measuring Impact and Calculating ROI on E-Learning, Blended Learning, and Mobile Learning , will be provided to participants who attend this session.

Presenter: Jack Phillips, (LinkedIn profile) Ph.D. is co-founder and chairman of ROI Institute, Inc. Jack is also the developer of the ROI Methodology, the most applied approach to demonstrating value of programs, projects, and initiatives. With years of corporate experience in the aerospace, textile, metals, construction materials, and banking industries, Jack served as training and development manager, as Sr human resource officer, as president of a regional bank, and a management professor at a major state university.
