I regularly use the virtual group training sessions. They will never completely replace personal exchange – but they are a good supplement. Of course, there are also challenges, and not just technical ones: It’s just too easy to hide behind your laptop and let the others do the work.
I mainly use the platform to expand my knowledge of digitalization and to keep myself up-to-date. I worked on the “ExpertFit” training for the Marketing department myself. I especially like the small, bite-sized pieces of knowledge that you can absorb between doing other things. I try to take time to study every Friday. Unfortunately, other topics often come get in the way. I’ve now put a blocker in my calendar, which helps. The biggest hurdle at the beginning is finding your way around the system. It is simply very extensive.
And it could be a bit more playful: For example, I would like it if I could share my learning successes via platforms such as LinkedIn, thereby motivating others to join in.
