Face-to-face training and collaborative work
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 9:02 am
Almost all of us are very clear about the advantages of online training: flexibility and individualization are just some of the most important ones.
Once we have completed compulsory education and are constantly running out of time, face-to-face training does not seem, a priori, to be the most attractive option. However, before making a decision and ruling it out, have you considered everything that a face-to-face course can offer you? We will do it for you:
ADVANTAGES OF FACE-TO-FACE TRAINING
Networking.
In addition to acquiring new knowledge, the relationship with your colleagues will not only help you to make new friends with whom you can go out for coffee during the break, but it is also a great opportunity to establish direct contact with people with the same interests as you and with whom you can create synergies. Expand your network of contacts!
Laboratory of ideas.
Two are better than one. Consider that face-to-face training allows students to share a laboratory of ideas in which the best results arise from collaboration and joint work. Problem solving, doubts and of course the creation of projects will be much more enriching situations than when you have to face them alone through distance learning. Go for teamwork !
Advantages of face-to-face training
Social being and personal enrichment.
Without a doubt, one of the strengths of online courses is that you can access them wherever you are. The elimination of physical barriers to consuming knowledge from our electronic devices is a huge advantage, but it is an experience that we will live alone. We are social animals. Beyond the content of the course itself, there are certain subjects that we should never ignore, since our success as professionals largely depends on their development. Personal contact with your teachers and other students will enrich you as a professional and help you develop your personal skills. Learning is being social.
Out with the technological gap.
It is quite common to assume that the level of knowledge in the operation of digital tools and platforms is common, and yet it is often a major barrier to access when deciding to take an online course. With face-to-face training this barrier disappears since technical knowledge is usually not as demanding. In addition, having a teacher who can help you overcome these difficulties in real time is an added value.
Requirement.
We're not going to ignore the fact that finding time often means juggling things, but have you thought about the level of commitment that an online course will require? Okay, you won't have to travel anywhere, but precisely because of this flexibility, your level of personal demand can be much lower. It's no use being able to access your course from the comfort of your home if you then drop out after the second week.
Motivation and commitment.
In relation to the previous point, now think about the responsibility of the training. In the case of online training, it is fundamentally in the hands of the student, that is, we as students acquire a commitment that we may not be very used to and do not know how to manage. Better time management is usually one of our pending subjects. What consequences does this have? Having difficulties focusing or organizing priorities and even tasks throughout the day will generate frustration. We will lose motivation and most likely abandon our course. The very characteristics of face-to-face training (such as, for example, the existence of fixed schedules for traveling) will “force” us to manage our time better and the fact of sharing this commitment with more people will increase our motivation with the training.
Disconnection.
I'm not talking about digital disconnection, but about u latest database nderstanding the time you invest in training through a face-to-face course as a moment of personal enrichment . Abandon the idea of training out of obligation and do it for pure pleasure. Look for courses on the subject that motivates you the most, the one you've always wanted to delve into, and invest time in it. You will turn this learning into the best moment of the day.
And now that you know some of the pros of this type of training , are you more into online courses or in-person training? At Cursos femxa we have 20 years of experience successfully training people in both options:
