The training videos are excellent. I think they are well done and you do an excellent job sharing not only your experience but your knowledge as well. I particularly like the way you carefully explain each option and the pros and cons. You are giving me an honest assessment of what I need to do and providing me with the range of prices and values. I also like the photos and info below each video for me to look at and compare. I am a visual learner! I started facilitating virtual learning 10 years ago but it was more of a webinar with power point and a talking head. Nothing like today’s Adobe Connect or Zoom. So when this pandemic hit, all of my ILT workshops for the balance of 2020 were cancelled. That was a shock to the system and the pocket book! Some told me that it was a clear sign that I needed to retire. I don’t think so!!! So, it became time to reinvent myself. I am not ready to retire but I am tired of being in airplanes, hotels and car rentals. So, VILT can help me achieve both of my long term goals: Help others to learn, grow and to become more successful in their lives and allow me to do it from the safety of my office and my home. I have been taking VILT workshops on how to use Adobe / Zoom, how to rewrite my workshop material to be virtual rather than live and how to restructure my participant materials. It has been a fast paced process and without the help of others, I think I may have thrown in the towel. And now I find you to help me with the other questions I have been mulling over in my mind: How do I redesign my office? What is the best equipment? What about lighting? What else might I need to be professional at this VILT career? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with me. I truly do appreciate it! John
