Example is where aeronautical Engineering students repairs planes in hangars. This method is effective because students get all skills and practically implement their knowledge.

"off-the-job training

Training method where students are involved in theory and class work and online engagement with lecturers.This method is theory and science involving where teachers input knowledge without showing practically how things are done. Example is when nursing students are in class before starting to train in laboratories.

sources of data for your ANALYSIS

Data analysis is special tool in training since it helps to interpret collected data from fields and other sources and helps to develop hypothesis and recommendations and come up with strategies and policies. we have qualitative method which entails collecting actual data through picture, recorded audio and observation. We also have quantitative that involves grouping of population to study behaviors and characteristics to deliver interpretation and use the information in different aspects in management and making policies.

sources of data analysed in this work are journals and publishing and other online media which helps to understand diversity of human resource management.

1. Instructor-students engagement- this happens in class and conference rooms in where company update on new emerging issues,challenges and technology
2. Interactive training- here students and teachers are not only lectured but participate in discussions and group works to share knowledge and skills.
3. E-learning- new emerging training method done by online research, lecture, assignments and evaluation without teacher and students meeting.

Convenient- no specific time for both parties to be online.

Self own place and time- you learn and train at your time and private place

Student control of their learning- everyone plan when to get online and study

3 Disadvantages of asynchronous

No instant feedback- since they are not online same time, feedback is delayed.

There is no personal interaction- it reduces the aspect of connecting to the other person

Lacks motivation- loneliness may reduce motivation to learn

3 Advantages of synchronous

This platform is open to both parties been online and active together.

Immediate feedback- there is exchange of information immediately

Convenient and effective- saves time and delays since all parties connect and brief each other and log out after they get information.

Cost effective- it helps to pass information to all without them moving, travelling and boarding in schools.

3 Disadvantages of synchronous

Requires high fast internet- this is organizational challenge since its very expensive to maintain such network

Need for strategic planning- the training department need to be smart or else they will fail

Time barriers. some times regions time zone differs and may not be convenient to all staff and trainers
