Why We Did the Research

Training professionals have choices when it comes to training delivery method, ranging from more traditional methods, such as classroom-based, instructor-led training, to newer, less established methods, like virtual and augmented reality.

Learners also have options in the way they learn; if they don’t like the way training is delivered, they can access information in other ways (e.g., Google and YouTube), where they run the risk of misinformation.

Understanding how learners react to training delivery strategies is critical for ensuring that they are engaging with training content and that training programs are effective.
