Over the past year, advances in technology have opened up significant opportunities to provide cost-effective and expense-cutting corporate training in virtual world environments.  A few of the existing platforms include: Second Life, Wonderland, and ReactionGrid.

While many technological hurdles have been cleared, most organizations have not yet explored how they can take full advantage of the capabilities within these virtual worlds.

To address this need, SNI has developed a division,
Virtual Training Partners, whose focus is to:

• Introduce and orient new virtual world users and learners
• Assess clients' current learning environments and conduct cost-benefit analysis of utilizing virtual world platforms in training offerings
• Integrate virtual world training into existing learning curricula
• Design, deliver, and drive results through cutting edge programming

To date, Virtual Training Partners has developed and delivered programs in Second Life, as it is currently the most widely used platform. Our programs take advantage of the unique opportunities provided by virtual worlds.

Some of the exciting features and benefits include:

• Dramatic decrease in overall expenditures, due to the elimination of travel and lodging costs
• Unlimited possibilities for types of learning environments and environmental settings
• Ability to increase and retain participant interest and attention at a much higher rate than webinars and teleconferences

These are just a few of the possibilities this technology is providing.  In addition, it opens doors to virtual office meetings, conferences, collaboration between geographically dispersed employees, and more.

Virtual world technology should never completely replace the critical Instructor-Led Training and in person business interactions.  However, the potential to allow organizations to unlock new and unexplored areas of productivity and expense reduction is crucial to its success.

Through Virtual Training Partners, SNI will remain at the forefront of delivering innovative training programs and consulting offerings in all delivery mediums.
