An SDMS Partnership with Jigsaw Meeting - Your Virtual Classroom

On Line Learning - The Virtual Classroom

 

When you want to train people who are spread out over wide geographical areas and places, Jigsaw Meeting allows fully interactive training programs to be held - virtually and on line with the tools and techniques available to support all learning styles from "chalk and talk" to brainstorming, small group sessions and plenaries.

 

A secure and easy way to train virtually it is designed to provide real-time interaction between participants. And, it allows people to learn in an environment that meets their unique learning style at a time to suit them.

Jigsaw Meeting is a completely web based video training platform so there are no executable files to be downloaded. You identify the purpose and goals of your training session, who you want to participate and what role you want the attendees to play. From there, it's easy.

Uses for Web Video Conferencing

 

The main benefits of using Jigsaw Meeting are cost reductions, no travel costs, no meeting room costs, and better trained staff. However, to gain these benefits the shift from on site meetings to virtual meetings must begin.

There will always be a need for on site meetings, but by shifting 30% of these to virtual video meetings, you will gain the same learning results at a fraction of the cost. With the pressures on employee time we are finding it harder and harder to get staff out of the workplace for a day or half day. With Jigsaw training can be slotted into the working day in less busy moments.

Employee Corporate Training and Development

Jigsaw Meeting can provide a way of delivering training to groups of staff at the same time (synchronous training) or a learning platform that works with your current asynchronous learning mechanisms and supports employees who are learning at their own pace and timescale. If you are looking to improve your current employee training programs so that they include experience and discussion based learning with your content and skills based programmes, Jigsaw Meeting can be integrated into the ways of working of your training and development department. Including Jigsaw Meeting in your training and development program improves the learning environment for your employees and optimizes the use of your subject matter experts and specialists at a fraction of the cost.
