Topic #2 – Compare and Contrast Technology-based to Face-to-Face Training (Required)

As many organizations have increased remote workers due to the  Coronavirus pandemic, these organizations have implemented more  technology-based learning for their workforce. Compare and contrast the  advantages and disadvantages between technology-based approaches (such  as Zoom, Skype, or other multimedia) training with in-person,  face-to-face training for employees. As a designer, what  learner/audience factors would you consider when selecting each of these  delivery methods? What has been your experience with conducting these  two kinds of employee training (F2F and Virtual)? Be sure to use at  least two resources from the class.
