i. User login/attendance monitoring;
ii. Document sharing;
iii. 2-way communication; and
iv. Ability to generate reports on user activity and event logs

When delivering training via live online platforms, the stability of the internet connection, as well as sufficient bandwidth, are two (2) crucial factors in ensuring smooth delivery of the content. As such, training providers and trainers must carry out sufficient testing before any such training is carried out to ensure that the delivery will be consistently smooth throughout the training period.

Training providers/Organisers are also required to provide access to the live online training session for HRDF officers to conduct the inspection. This access must be emailed to inspectorate@hrdf.com.my at least 24 hours before the commencement of the training. The email should also have the following details:
i. HRDF Grant Reference Number;
ii. Employer Name;

Training providers/Organisers must also keep the video records of these live online training sessions for at least two (2) years. Training providers/Organisers should be able to provide these records when required by the HRDF officers.

1. Trainee is distracted and is not staying engaged with the course. Could be doing other work or being interrupted by other parties in the vicinity.
2. Trainee is watching the training course on their mobile phone and is driving around. Trainees should be using the laptop at the minimum because of no interruption on screen from phone calls, social media notifications, better screen size viewing quality, wired internet capability (in case required) and overall better quality of technical capabilities for 2 way multimedia interaction (video, answering questions, reading the slides and taking actions on the learning platform used).
3. The internet connection is bad with constant connection drops. This happens due to internet traffic loads, a low quality internet plan, or application server issues.
4. The audio is garbled and the trainer is inaudible, becomes rubbish audio. Multiple factors including browser control and caching issues, user computer quality issues, background noise, internet connectivity issues and application server issues.
5. Trainer distracted trying to support trainees with technical issues. A program host from the training provider (TP) should be on standby to support trainees and let the trainer focus on the training.

Training effectiveness evaluation is compulsory for all training that is delivered live online. This is for HRDF to continuously monitor the effectiveness of training conducted in this way.
