Abstract

Problem The world is undergoing digital transformation accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in several paradoxes, such as isolation versus increased accessibility, and structure versus flexibility. With many joining Virtual Human Resource Development (VHRD), the relationship of online teaching and learning to VHRD is understudied, thus necessitating exploration. Solution The complexity of virtual environments, dual emphasis on formal and informal learning, and the socio-cultural nature of large digital networks and learning management systems are explored. This article describes selected connections, presents recommended practices and implications for online instruction from the VHRD perspective, discusses digital tools for instructors and trainers, and presents cautions. Stakeholders Learning professionals are encouraged to dance within the paradox to promote learning agility for adapting within digital transformation and to use both high tech and low tech designs to shape resilient learners who combine hard and soft skills valuable for organizations that are increasing the use of artificial intelligence applications.

在悖论中跳舞:虚拟人力资源开发、在线教学和学习

问题新冠肺炎疫情加速了世界的数字化转型，导致了几个悖论，如隔离与增加可及性，结构与灵活性。随着许多人加入虚拟人力资源开发（VHRD），在线教学与VHRD的关系研究不足，因此有必要进行探索。解决方案探讨了虚拟环境的复杂性、对正式和非正式学习的双重重视，以及大型数字网络和学习管理系统的社会文化性质。本文描述了选定的连接，从VHRD的角度介绍了在线教学的推荐实践和含义，讨论了教师和培训师的数字工具，并提出了注意事项。利益相关者鼓励学习专业人士在悖论中跳舞，以提高适应数字化转型的学习灵活性，并使用高科技和低技术设计来塑造有弹性的学习者，他们将硬技能和软技能结合起来，对增加人工智能应用的组织有价值。

期刊介绍： Advances in Developing Human Resources is a bi-monthly journal whose single issues explore and examine discrete topics. These single issues (or "back issues," once the subsequent issue is published) are available individually or in quantities for use in a classroom or training environment. Balancing practice, theory, and readability, each issue is devoted to important and timely topics related to the development of human resources. The content of the journal spans the realms of performance, learning, and integrity within an organizational context. Readable and relevant to practitioners, each issue is grounded in sound research and theory and edited by a top scholar in the field.
