CALMet XIV 2021

Switch classroom to online training

• Online training has been promoted for many years and its  advantages have been a  recurring topic in previous CALMets. In the context of the  fast transition to online training during the past year, the participants expressed:    “necessity is the mother of invention ” ,  “embrace changes as opportunities”, “do your best“ ,  “do not try to be perfect”. Many factors influence training outcomes. Recalling that all forms of training have barriers, efforts to minimize and overcome difficulties need to be made. The disadvantages of online training  are being reduced every day so for many , online training provides added value and a positive experience; but some  groups of learners  which required  special attention  will need to be recuperated.
