While teaching can be
based in or out of the classrooms, the use of computers and the Internet forms
the major component of e-learning. A learning system based on formalized
teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as e-learning. E-learning
stems from the ongoing incorporation of technology—specifically computer
systems and mobile devices—into learning and education environments.
Simply the training
provided via computer or digital device, where technology can facilitate
learning anytime, anywhere called e-learning
The introduction of
technology-enabled learning that helps organizations train human resource is
driving the growth of the global e-learning market. These training modules
offer continuous and effective learning at an optimal cost and provide
customized course content that meets the specific requirements of end-users.
Benefits of e-learning
E-learning saves time,
money, materials, and resources by keeping everything online. And because it’s
easy to access, a larger number of students and employees can participate in
learning or training initiatives. As technology continues to push e-learning
forward, education, training, and professional development will reach wider
audiences and impact more learners. An e-learning solution can be pushed out to
all of your learners regardless of where they might be, quickly and easily.
Flexibility
With e-learning learners can
learn anytime, anywhere, and if your LMS (Learning Management System) is
mobile-responsive, they can even use any device. This means that learners are
now able to fit training around their schedule and learn at their own pace.
Consistency
With e-learning you can
deliver the same content to everyone, ensuring that the same standard of
training is delivered everywhere.
Reduce costs
Producing learning content
is time consuming whether it’s online or not. Traditional learning requires
extensive costs, time and effort in terms of development, deployment and
consumption of the learning materials. By contrast, e-learning materials are
like reusable objects. They can be replicated and amended to fulfill demands
easier than traditional learning materials. With e-learning, each time the
course is accessed your return on investment improves because you are dividing
the fixed production costs by number of uses.
Increase
productivity
E-learning can be used for
many clients or employees at the same time. Scaling up is as simple as
providing access to e-learning materials.
