Abstract

Abstract: This document reflects the best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations for designing, developing, and delivering technical education with labs within a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It also provides an overview of the key steps and considerations necessary for converting an existing instructor-led training (ILT) offering to a successful offering in a virtual learning environment. With only a classroom delivery option available, and limited trainer resources, it is difficult and costly to meet the needs of an expanding pool of global resources that need to continually update their technical skills.This pilot project was launched in an attempt to find alternative delivery options to meet those needs.
