One of the challenges associated with COVID-19 work restrictions has been the transition of training, qualification, and mentoring activities from live, in-person exchanges to virtual/hybrid platforms. This panel session highlights both positive aspects of these changes as well as challenges associated with them. Viewpoints of both trainers and trainees will be presented. Attendees will gain insight on how to optimize their virtual/hybrid training and learning experience. We invite the audience to join the conversation to share best practices and lessons learned for code training, hands-on experiences, on-site process familiarization, and mentoring in these environments
To join the conversation, you must be logged in and registered for the meeting.
