Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) refers to training that is delivered in a virtual or simulated environment, or when instructor and learner are in separate locations. Virtual instruction environments are designed to simulate the traditional classroom or learning experience. VILT can be conducted synchronously or asynchronously. The term is also referred to as Virtual Classroom Training (VCT). Hybrid Instructor-Led Training (HILT) incorporates both a traditional classroom setting and virtual learning environment. This allows learners from remote locations to interact and participate in an instructor-led classroom through the use of technology. E-Learning is self-paced learning in which students use technology to access training or courseware, without instructor intervention or direct participation, and is delivered asynchronously. Face-to-Face Learning refers to traditional learning environments in which an instructor and student interact in person, and can include one-on-one, classroom or lecture structures.
