How can you prepare this emerging workforce quickly and in a cost-effective manner? eLearning!

What is eLearning?

eLearning is broadly defined as education or training that is created or delivered using a computer or other learning technologies. eLearning is often delivered through a Learning Management System (LMS) and enables large numbers of people to receive targeted instruction at their convenience.

What are the benefits of using eLearning in your training program?

The greatest benefits of eLearning are cost savings and consistency.

Cost savings

The chart below compares the typical costs of instructor-led training versus eLearning. The bottom line is that once you implement the LMS, you can provide training classes 24/7, year-round at a much lower cost than instructor-led classes. If you have a large number of learners, you can quickly amortize the initial start-up costs of implementing the LMS and developing the eLearning courses.

Consistency

Effective instruction depends upon a clear, consistent message delivered to learners when they are receptive to learning. eLearning ensures that all learners receive a consistent message. By using audio, visuals, interactivity, and simulation, eLearning can accommodate the various learning styles to communicate the message more effectively.
