Virtual Classroom
Bring Leadership Training to Life in a Virtual World
The world has made a fast change to remote work. And that makes it the ideal time to pivot learning to the virtual classroom.
DDI’s virtual classroom brings your leaders together for engaging leadership development no matter where they are in the world. No matter the time or location, your leaders will meet live to learn from an instructor. They’ll practice skills together. And most importantly, they’ll build connections with each other.
Your leaders may be scattered across locations. But we can bring them together virtually to build one unified vision of leadership in your organization.

What is a Virtual Classroom?
A virtual classroom is unlike other types of online learning. It’s not a webinar. Nor is it a dry online course leaders can click through. Rather, the virtual classroom brings all the rich advantages of the traditional classroom into the virtual world. A certified facilitator leads the course via a live video conferencing platform.
Leaders engage in lively conversation. Participate in activities. Share whiteboards. And most importantly, connect with each other to practice skills.
In short, you can get the same results virtually as you can in the traditional classroom. Just minus the physical handshakes and travel costs.
High-Impact Courses
We’ve been designing and delivering virtual classroom courses for more than a decade. Today, we’re ready to bring more than 40 leadership courses to your (virtual) doorstep.
The content all comes from our award-winning learning systems, which are proven to boost your bottom line. And we offer the courses across levels, whether you need to train your emerging leaders, managers, or early executives.
From my point of view, I would say that this program was nearly perfect, as it addressed all of our goals we had set initially for our talent.

Brush Up Your Virtual Facilitator Skills
Whether in a virtual or in-person classroom, every facilitator needs to be an engaging presenter. They need to know how to include everyone in the conversation, and guide them to higher skill levels.
But in a virtual environment, there are a few unique challenges. That’s why we developed the Facilitator Booster: Virtual Classroom, a session to help DDI-certified facilitators make the leap to the virtual world.
We also offer our full train-the-trainer certification process in a virtual format. No matter what you need, we’re prepared to walk by your side as you take leadership development into the virtual world.
Become a Virtual Classroom Producer
A virtual facilitator’s role is to train by transferring knowledge and skills. So who manages the technology? The virtual classroom producer. This role helps to ensure everything related to the technology and user experience goes smoothly.
The virtual classroom producer ensures that learners can fully participate in training, without fiddling with technology. To get your aspiring producers up to speed fast, we’ve put together a short on-demand training module.
DDI was the only one of 20 providers that had all classroom courses proven ready to transition virtually.
