Why Choose E-Learning?

Doing business is more challenging than ever. Resources are tight, competition is stiff, and the pace of change is accelerating. In this environment, organizations rise or fall based on the knowledge, skills, and adaptability of their workforce. Workforce education and training is thus a linchpin of sustainable competitive advantage.

The Advantages of E-Learning Over Traditional Training

Investment in employee training is a strategic imperative in today's environment. Increasingly, the training method of choice is elearning—training accessible through computers or mobile devices connected to the Internet or a private intranet. The reasons for the trend toward elearning are many:

• Because elearning does away with the need for travel, and because elearning content can be easily shared across large organizations, elearning often costs much less than traditional classroom-based training.
• Unlike traditional training materials, elearning resources can be rapidly updated and redistributed to keep up with changes in knowledge and the environment.
• Since elearning typically takes the form of self-paced, on demand training, it is far less disruptive of normal work routines than classroom-based training.
• Unlike classroom-based training, e learning can support "informal learning"—the just-enough, just-in-time, self-guided learning that workers employ while doing their regular work. Studies have shown that most workplace learning is of this informal type.
