ESI’s Virtual Classroom

ESI’s Virtual Classroom takes the convenience of our popular e-Training delivery and combines it with the interactivity and immediacy of a traditional classroom course. With this new, interactive delivery option, you can train in a group from the convenience of your office.

Virtual Classroom courses are divided into a series of modules, which allow for flexible scheduling options. ESI offers courses to the public in convenient one-, two-, four- and six-week options. For those interested in bringing Virtual Classroom to their organization, we can work with you to adjust the schedule based on your organization's needs.

How ESI’s Virtual Classroom Works

• Communication
  The instructor and participants communicate instantly via microphone and text-chat.
• Interactive Tools
  Participants stay engaged with a multitude of interactive tools. Polling questions, surveys, quiz questions and games spark discussion and reinforce key learning points while markup tools and whiteboards allow participants to brainstorm and share their experiences.
• Breakout Rooms
  In most modules, participants are divided into virtual breakout rooms to collaboratively solve case studies and complete exercises, much like they would in the traditional classroom. Each group can discuss, capture solutions on the screen and save their work to share with the class later.
• Offline Homework
  Participants complete homework assignments and exercises outside of the classroom to help them further retain and apply new information and prepare for the final exam.
• Reinforcement Tools
  During and after the course, participants can access valuable tools, templates, readings, reference material, and homework assignments. Also, after the course participants can listen to recorded modules to review information.
