Virtual Classrooms: Live Expert Learning for Teams 

Access Learning Content (formerly Access Bookboon) delivers Virtual Instructor-Led Training that brings industry specialists directly to your workforce. Expert-led 60-minute sessions combine live interaction with peer discussion, whilst automatic recordings ensure flexible access. Your teams get practical insights from practitioners currently solving workplace challenges - delivered with zero travel disruption, maintaining operational efficiency. 

Access Learning solutions are accredited, assured and backed by our learning partners.

What happens when development needs discussion, not just instruction? 

Change management during restructuring needs more than documentation. Leadership development requires practicing difficult conversations, not just reading about them. AI strategy implementation demands clarity through discussion, not confusion from conflicting advice. These challenges need dialogue, questions, and hearing how others navigate the same workplace situations. 

Virtual classrooms solve this by delivering live expert sessions with real-time Q&A. Structured learning, absorbed through discussion and peer interaction, applied when workplace situations demand it. This is development designed for when expertise requires conversation, not just content consumption. 

Introduce expert-led live learning 

Access Learning Content delivers Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) that combines the engagement of classroom learning with the flexibility your workforce needs. Industry specialists lead 60-minute sessions designed for immediate application, not academic theory. Sessions record automatically and publish with chapter markers, letting people revisit specific topics without watching complete recordings. 

Expert-led content from industry practitioners focuses on building confidence through discussion - knowledge your teams can explore collaboratively, fitting into scheduled calendar slots, available on-demand for those who can't attend live, accessible on any device. 

As part of Access Learning Content, virtual classrooms join our broader library of short learning videos, eBooks, and audio learning, offering organisations multiple formats to engage their workforce in professional development. 

"Some skills develop best through conversation and real-time interaction. Virtual classrooms excel when your workforce needs to explore complex topics, debate applications, or build confidence through discussion. The cohort experience creates shared language and approaches that strengthen organisational culture."

Laura Haselum, Learning Content Manager Access Learning Content

Why virtual classrooms strengthen your workforce 

Virtual classrooms enable collaborative skill-building by creating scheduled learning moments. Live sessions become discussion opportunities. Cohort experiences become shared development. Recorded content becomes reference materials, all supporting capability growth through expert interaction and peer learning. 

Beyond self-paced content, virtual classrooms cover what your workforce needs to master through dialogue: leadership development, change management strategies, technical upskilling, AI applications, and complex frameworks they can explore with guidance. This results in confident application that employees genuinely value, and professionals who engage with learning because it provides expert access and peer validation both at work and throughout their careers.

Topics covered in our virtual classrooms

"Virtual classrooms bridge the gap between self-paced learning and structured development. They create moments where people can ask questions, challenge assumptions, and learn from both the expert and each other. That peer interaction often generates as much value as the session itself."

FAQs

Frequently Asked qQuestions About Virtual Classrooms

What is VILT and how does it work?

Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) delivers live learning experiences led by industry specialists through online sessions. Access Learning Content's virtual classrooms run for 60 minutes with structured content, dedicated Q&A time, and real-time interaction with experts and peers. Sessions combine the engagement of classroom learning with the flexibility of digital delivery. Employees book through the platform, receive automated calendar invites, and join with a single click - no separate logins, no IT complexity. All sessions record automatically and publish with chapter markers for on-demand access. 

How is VILT different from self-paced eLearning?

Virtual classrooms provide real-time interaction with specialists and peers through live formats, creating collaborative experiences where people can ask questions, debate applications, and learn from each other. Self-paced eLearning consists of pre-recorded materials people complete independently at their own speed. VILT works best when you need discussion, expert guidance, and peer validation. Self-paced options excel for foundational knowledge that doesn't require real-time interaction. Access Learning Content provides both approaches within one platform. 

How do employees find time for virtual classrooms?

Sessions run at scheduled times twice weekly, allowing employees to plan ahead and block calendar time. Each session lasts 60 minutes - designed to deliver focused, actionable content without overwhelming schedules. For those who can't attend live, automatic recordings with chapter-based navigation mean accessing specific topics takes minutes, not hours. This flexibility means collaborative learning happens through scheduled attendance or on-demand viewing around work commitments. 

Can people who miss live sessions view the content later?

Yes. All sessions record automatically and publish to the specialist's profile within 24 hours, remaining available indefinitely unless content updates. Chapter selections let people navigate directly to specific topics - if someone needs guidance on a particular question discussed, they can jump to that segment rather than watching the complete recording. This makes sessions valuable both live and as reference resources. 

Is there a limit to how many people can join a session?

No. Sessions accommodate unlimited participants without additional costs, letting you scale development across your entire workforce. People can join anonymously or share their details when connecting, and sessions encourage participation at whatever comfort level suits each individual.  

How do people find and book upcoming sessions?

People book directly through the Access Learning Content platform. The interface highlights upcoming sessions, features spotlight themes on trending topics, and makes registration straightforward. Once booked, automated calendar invites and reminders ensure nobody misses sessions, whilst single-click joining removes technical barriers. No separate systems, no complex booking processes. 

Are sessions suitable for different experience levels?

Yes. There are a wide range of sessions suitable for varying experience levels. The Q&A format lets people ask questions at their current level, whilst peer interaction provides multiple perspectives serving different experience stages. Beginners gain foundational understanding; experienced professionals explore advanced applications. 

Can we request specific topics for our organisation?

Access Learning Content cannot provide custom or private sessions through the platform. However, the regular schedule covers diverse business-critical topics, with spotlight themes highlighting sessions aligned with current industry trends and seasonal priorities. If specific topics are critical for your organisation, consider supplementing virtual classrooms with targeted video learning or eBooks addressing those exact needs from our comprehensive library. 

What accessibility features support different learning needs?

All sessions include auto-generated captions for accessibility. Recorded sessions with chapter-based navigation benefit people who need to revisit material at their own pace, focus on specific segments without processing complete sessions, or access content in environments where live attendance isn't practical. This flexibility supports diverse learning preferences and needs. 

How do live virtual classrooms complement our existing training programmes?

Virtual classrooms work alongside structured eLearning programmes. Virtual classrooms offer a different dimension of module-based courses; collaborative exploration, real-time Q&A, and expert guidance that builds confidence. They're particularly valuable for leadership development, change management, and complex topics that benefit from discussion and peer validation. 

How do virtual classrooms work with other Access Learning Content formats?

Virtual classrooms complement the full Access Learning Content library alongside videos, eBooks, and audio learning. Different formats serve different learning moments: virtual classrooms for live interaction and discussion, video shorts for just-in-time insights between meetings, eBooks for in-depth exploration at your desk, and audio for hands-free development when you’re on the go. This multi-format approach provides blended learning opportunities where employees choose the right format for each learning goal, creating flexible professional development that adapts to how your workforce operates. 

How quickly can we deploy virtual classrooms across our organisation?

Access Learning Content integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, requiring zero IT complexity or months-long implementations. Self-service setup means your workforce starts accessing virtual classrooms within 48 hours of contract signature. Native integration with Access systems eliminates separate login friction whilst transparent per-employee pricing scales effortlessly as your organisation grows.
