Virtual setup has taken the world by storm. It has played a prominent role in the mental evolution of the human mind and widened its perspective.
There was a time when people used to rely a lot on in-person conversations. Nobody had ever thought of embracing the virtual setup till everything became digitalized, and people started understanding the importance of Virtual structure.
By virtual setup, I mean, Virtual conferences, meetings, exhibitions, webinars, and workshops. A lot of time and money can be saved with the virtual structure, and life also becomes hassle-free.
It is an online classroom-style arrangement for training and professional growth, supported by best-in-class professionals.

3. Download material from the resource center
A resource center is a place that gathers and organizes information and material like web-based resources, databases, and accessible websites, audio/visuals material.
The idea behind this is to give its participants the feel of a library as if they are sitting in person there, and it is more of a modern-day library offering multimedia tools.
4. Include Gamification
Gamification means adding games like an online community and a learning management system to increase participation. The idea behind Gamification is to interact, coordinate and share. Some examples of Gamification are: -
· Digital games like puzzles, crosswords, quizzes, board games, and word games can be included to boost participation and make learning more fun.
· Building creative assignments like self-shot videos, podcasts, and blogs and asking learners to share their posts on their social media profiles. Learners with maximum likes, views, and engagement will be considered champions.
· Rewards and recognition strategy
This strategy has always played a prominent role in motivating the participants, especially if there is any monetary benefit associated with it, like incentives and commissions on the sales of a product.
· Providing real-time Feedback
Through Gamification, participants can be given feedback that can provide them with a sense of direction and guide them to work on their shortcomings.
