12 © 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc. Key Cisco E-Learning Philosophies E-learning is the online delivery of information, communication, education, and training. E-learning provides a new set of tools that can add value to all the traditional learning modes- classroom experiences, textbook study, CD- ROM, and traditional computer based training. Old-world learning models don't scale to meet the new world learning challenge. E-learning can provide the tools to meet that challenge.

13 © 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc. Key Cisco E-Learning Philosophies(Cont.) E-learning will not replace the classroom setting, but enhance it, taking advantage of new content and delivery technologies to enable learning. With e-learning you can empower learners, and the learner, as well as the mentoring system, is held accountable. Retention for a learner varies, based on content type and the delivery vehicle. The better the match of content and delivery vehicle to a learner's style, the greater the retention, and therefore the greater the results.
