Management Components of Virtual In-Service Training of Employees

Abstract

The present study aimed to present a plan for the virtual in-service training of employees. This study first defines in-service and virtual training and then discusses a classified summary of the characteristics of virtual training environments. A review of the previous models suggested they first described Gween Dassamy’s virtual training pattern, then discussed Siemens’ virtual training pattern, virtual training environments model, electronic training model, and guiding or teaching characteristics. A proposed model of virtual in-service training for employees is presented following the virtual training patterns. The proposed model has such assumptions as environmental, infrastructure, technical, cultural and financial personnel readiness, affecting the employees’ computer experience and learning motives. The virtual training process also involves such components as designing a training program, content production, curricula, teaching quality, assessment, and feedback. The components of this system should interact with each other to produce a desirable learning performance for the employees within the in-service training framework.
