Communicating in a virtual environment can be daunting because the same skills needed in face-to-face training do not readily translate into a virtual environment. However, online presentations can be engaging.

Thirdly, many people who are new to virtual delivery say that they ‘don’t know what they don’t know’ and want to learn to be more confident and credible in their presentations from the outset.
