USE CASE
@DeliverTraining and #NextGenClassroom#MimeoWebinar
U S E C A S E
Software training company Business model: strategic P&L Competing ILT and online
courses Instructors performed well in
one but not both modalities Decreasing enrollment due to
cancellations
Background
@DeliverTraining and #NextGenClassroom#MimeoWebinar
U S E C A S E
Geographically dispersed learner base
Small numbers of students in each location
Past experience with vILT fell short Not effective for multi-day,
hands-on training Instructors ‘felt like TV or
radio hosts’ Learner experience sub-par
Challenge
@DeliverTraining and #NextGenClassroom#MimeoWebinar
U S E C A S E
New hybrid model Comparable level of instructor
interaction and engagement Equal ‘presence’ between in-
class and remote students Class interaction is natural,
dynamic System easy-to-learn and use
for instructors as well as students
Solution
@DeliverTraining and #NextGenClassroom#MimeoWebinar
Ability to run courses in cities in every U.S. time zone every quarter
More training with same resources Average class size is up by 28% Learner feedback: hybrid learning
experience is better than classic ILT or online
Reduced time to market, increased speed of sales cycle, faster more efficient time to knowledge
