Why E-Learning
Overview
With the production speed and efficiency of today's workforce companies are increasingly seeking better qualified employees. Workers are more decentralized than ever before, and government-and corporate-mandated training is on the rise. These challenges, in addition to dwindling training budgets, are causing training mangers to seek programs that deliver fast, localized, updated training at an affordable price...enter e-learning.
E-learning offers "anytime, anyplace, and any pace" instruction. Training content can be organized and delivered in a consistent format, producing measurable results. It can be updated regularly to reflect industry standards, helping learners achieve knowledge mastery and increased performance. Above all, e-learning is cheaper, faster, and easier to deliver than conventional training.
Benefits of Online Training
Anytime, Anyplace, Any Pace Training
Learners can train at work, in the classroom, or at home. All they need is a web accessible computer and they are training instantly. Moreover, learners can assimilate materials at an individual pace, enhancing their learning experience and overall performance.
Consistent Delivery
Among the most valuable benefits of e-learning is the ability to deliver consistent courseware-every time to every employee. Consistent delivery leads to more accurate training measurements because each learner receives the same instruction, regardless of when or where they train. In fact, online training produces a 60% faster learning curve than instructor-led training alone.
Enhanced Training Administration
With e-learning, training coordinators and administrators can easily and effectively track individual learner progress from start to finish. They can monitor assessment scores, test scores, and training status, as well as distinguish between the strong and weak areas of each learner's skill set.
Easy to Update and Standardize
By using e-learning, administrators and learners can receive the latest industry updates and course content related to the rapid changes in their industry or field of study. Training administrators can easily communicate updates to users and keep their training program well-organized.
Implement Custom Training
E-learning gives content creators the power to develop and deploy custom content, as well as manage its delivery and implementation. Furthermore, tracking and measuring results is faster and more effective because many e-learning systems include custom report and tracking features.
Keep Costs Low
Overall, e-learning is easier to use and to deliver to your workforce, saving you time and money. According to training researcher Brandon Hall, editor and publisher of the Multimedia & Internet Training Newsletter, companies save 40%-60% on training when they use electronic training instead of classroom training in dispersed locations.
