The Benefits of E Learning

Faced with increasingly complex and competitive operating environments, businesses large and small have come to view workforce training as critical to sustained success. For organizations wanting to prepare their employees for today's fast-developing challenges and opportunities, e learning—training and education delivered through the Internet or through a private intranet—offers significant advantages over traditional classroom-based training.

E Learning Beats Traditional Training

E learning delivers several key advantages compared to traditional training methods:

• E learning can be far less costly per student-hour than traditional classroom-based training due to the absence of travel and the ease of widely distributed content.
• E learning enables the delivery of standardized instruction across large, geographically distributed enterprises.
• E learning is effective, leveraging the latest pedagogical insights to deliver a learning experience that is self-directed, self-paced, and highly interactive.
• E learning resources can be rapidly and continually updated to keep pace with the ever-changing technical and economic environment.
• E learning is much less disruptive of work routines than traditional training because of its "anytime, anywhere" availability and its allowance for learner self-pacing.
• Unlike classroom training, e learning is supportive of "informal learning"—the improvised self-teaching that workers use while performing their day-to-day duties—and "mobile learning," whereby on-the-move employees use mobile devices to seek needed information.
