Online learning can provide you with the opportunity to have guest content experts in a way that may not be possible with face-to-face training. Thanks to technology, a content expert doesn't have to be in the same physical location as the facilitator(s). You could arrange to videotape or record a presentation from a content expert and include that as part of your online training. Even in a synchronous training event, you can create a pre-recorded presentation so that the content expert doesn't even have to be online during the actual training event.
You can also link to a website, podcast, YouTube video or online document about (or by) a content expert to enhance your content. This ability to access experts is a huge benefit provided by online learning. For example, if a literacy agency wanted to offer training to its members about Essential Skills, they could invite a certified Essential Skills Profiler from another region, another province or even another country to join the session to share his or her expertise.
