        abstract = {The rapid adoption of digital technologies has transformed organizational learning, with online platforms and Virtual Reality (VR) emerging as powerful tools for training and development (T&D). Online platforms enable scalable, flexible, and cost-effective training delivery, while VR provides immersive, experiential learning environments that simulate real-world tasks. This paper critically examines the effectiveness of these modalities in enhancing learning outcomes, engagement, and skill transfer. This research paper proposes a mixed-methods approach to evaluate training effectiveness, outlines potential methodologies for empirical investigation, and concludes that the blended use of online platforms and VR represents a promising future for corporate and academic training ecosystems.},
