Creativedge gives its 90-minute bite-sized training a virtual classroom
Creativedge Training and Development Ltd today announces the launch of a new, interactive virtual classroom for its renowned 90-minute, bite-sized courses on management, leadership, business and personal development.
A new virtual training environment has been launched to bring Creativedge bite-sized management, leadership, business and personal development courses to a wider audience. Delivered live by Creativedge expert trainers, the new virtual bite-sized training courses are already being used by international brands, including Ralph Lauren EMEA to train its overseas people, and EE, the UK’s most advanced digital communications company.
Just as the live training sessions are delivered in 90 minutes, so the virtual training is also offered for the same length of time, and can be accessed using a smartphone or mobile tablet device. The VT is opened using the Adobe Connect Platform, which allows attendance for up to 100 participants worldwide. The platform allows every attendee to interact directly with both trainer and other participants in order that everyone can benefit from a truly participatory training experience with no slow downloads or software to install. A variety of tools built-in to the new learning platform facilitates a multi-directional flow of information for all participants.

As Mark Rose, Managing Director Creativedge explains, “It was a natural next step for us to take our successful bite-sized training to a virtual platform. Our VT allows organisations to give staff all the advantages of a highly interactive, fully integrated classroom training programme whilst at the same time overcoming the barriers of geography, travel costs and availability. It’s a super effective, “anytime-anywhere” approach to training with a vastly superior reach.”
Other key benefits of the new virtual training include:-
- VT offers audio, video and text interaction
Participants can ask questions verbally or can type them using the built-in ‘chat’ function to contact the trainer or others in the session. In fact, many people often prefer text interaction when the sessions are underway; instead of interrupting the presenter each time, they simply use the ‘chat’ window to type in their comments or questions. And if the question is for the trainer, he/she can then addresses all comments/questions when they take a pause.
- Less interruptions in VT compared to live trainingAs VT is on a virtual platform, the content is more likely to keep on track than face-to-face training because participants can be muted to avoid distraction and interruptions. As Creativedge VT has designated ‘windows’ for Q&As, discussions, and off-line collaboration or “homework,” the training can be delivered efficiently, both in terms of cost and time.
As Mark summarises, “The new virtual training retains our meaningful content, but simply eliminates the ‘noise’ of interruptions and distractions. Being able to compressing training content without losing any of its value, is key. But as well as including the training information, the Creativedge VT classroom also includes, application, peer collaboration and performance coaching. That’s what adds value to virtual learning.”
