Learning & Training Curriculum

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video

is certainly worth millions of them! Studies

indicates that students retain 50 percent of the

content they hear and see in the form of a video

as compared to only 10 percent of what they

read. The enormous success of various video

training programs indicates that most learners

prefer video over text.

In vILT, a training is conducted by a trainer

using an online tool, which allows two-way

communication between the trainer and

the learner. If you choose an effective tool

for conducting the session, you can share

information through video, documents, and

written notes with the learners in real-time.
