What is e-learning good for?

Easy access – E-learning is the perfect answer to busy schedules, packed classrooms and increased travel: it provides comfortable access to training for students and thus solves logistic problems. Higher productivity – Because e-learning can happen anywhere, participants no longer need to be removed from the workplace to update their skills. They can continue to perform the daily duties of their position without missing out on training. Learning on demand – E-learning is more than training, it enables “knowledge on demand”. It provides access to just-in-time information directly from an employee’s workplace, just when it is needed. In addition, students can review learning materials at any time if they need a refresher on a specific subject.

Measurable results – Worldwide research has shown that training via online learning results in similar, if not better, learning outcomes. A learning management system (LMS) makes the administration, tracking, testing and certification of online learning a smooth process. Cost savings – Important amounts of money can be saved in travel- and downtime alone by using e-learning. Training materials can be updated for a fraction of the cost of revising materials distributed by other means. Time savings – Time sensitive training can be delivered faster than by traditional classroom methods. By using communication technology to deliver training to multiple sites at the same time, e-learning becomes a competitive advantage, e.g. in the fields of product development or sales.
