Key Principles for Effective VILTs-Design Document (Gold)

Business Purpose

Justice First Law Firm, known for its exceptional legal

services, understands the need to adapt training methods to

the changing business landscape. With a global presence

and a diverse team, the firm values continuous

professional development.

To address the challenges of remote work and virtual

collaborations, Justice First Law Firm has already trained

its HR professionals in conducting effective Virtual

Instructor-Led Trainings (VILTs). However, the firm

recognizes the importance of periodic refreshers to

maintain proficiency and tackle emerging VILT issues.

To support its HR professionals, the firm is developing a

microlearning video as a supplemental resource. This

video will provide practical strategies, best practices, and

actionable tips for designing and delivering engaging

VILTs. It will serve as a convenient refresher, readily

accessible when needed.

With the availability of this additional resource, HR

professionals at Justice First Law Firm aim to empower

the training department to gain confidence and competence

in conducting successful VILTs and delivering impactful

virtual learning experiences.

First Law Firm’s training department who have been

Recommendation

To optimize the viewing and learning experience for

Justice First Law Firm training department members:

 Make the microlearning video accessible through

the company's learning management system (LMS)

to ensure convenient access and centralized

availability. This will allow all team members to

easily find and access the video whenever needed.

Additionally, make the video available for download

to enable quicker access later.

 Before releasing the video, send out a clear and

informative email to all members of the target

audience. This communication will inform them

about the availability of the video in the LMS and

provide instructions on how to access it. It will also

highlight that the video can be downloaded for

offline viewing.

 Provide a job-aid to further support learning. This

resource will summarize the key principles for

conducting effective VILTs, serving as a tangible

reminder of the most important points from the

video. Learners can keep this material at their desks

for quick and easy reference when implementing
