My question regarding on-line training is how do you know a submissive is doing what you tell them to do? Really how can you know?
As MasterforRT mentions, part of the task would have to involve writing.
Sometimes, just having someone imagine something can be effective, and when they describe it in writing, that is proof that they have imagined it, at least enough to write something about it.
I had a long correspondence with a sub once before we ever met. We even put off meeting for a little while longer because we were enjoying the "mystery", if you will, of not knowing exactly who we were speaking to. I wouldn't describe it as "online training", exactly, but occasionally I would ask her to do things. Usually just very simple things like observing something in particular where-ever she was at some point in her day and making a note of it, or thought experiments, like having her imagine attempting to pick up a stranger she saw on the train during her commute home from work, or something like that. Those could be funny, but they would sometimes lead to serious ideas around the edges that were interesting to talk about.
Not training, perhaps, so much as simple little tasks to think and write a paragraph about.
We kept it light and had fun with it, but I think it laid a nice basis for getting to know one another a little bit before we actually met in person.
Edited to add; so, I think I can see how online could have some potential, but my experience is not the traditional, I don't suppose. I'd be curious to know how others approach it.
