Abstract

Because of today’s technology, understanding the components of online learning facilitation also requires an essential understanding to transfer knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), especially within the adult learning classroom. Remote learning has become a way of the world, especially within academic and business environments. From new hire training to corporate leadership concepts, anything and everything with a topic have a premise for the many types of online learning environments. Even early childhood learning is benefiting from online learning. Virtual learning conceptually has many facets of user operation, such as virtual-led learning, eLearning, on-demand, and cohort-style learning environments. Within this scope of one form or another, transferring knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) is vital to learning exchange. Therefore, those responsible for ensuring delivery must become subject matter experts (SMEs) using the online platform to extend a likeness of an actual brick-and-mortar face-to-face+ classroom. This chapter brings the concepts from principles to the practice of online virtual learning environments.
