Cost effective: An online training system reduces many costs that would normally be associated with classroom training, including travel, learning materials, the venue, and catering. Important text packets and lesson plans can be updated quickly and easily, and since they remain online, can save on printing costs. In years past, updating and reproducing learning material would be costly and timely. Moving the learning experience online helps with both of those concerns.
Improved performance and productivity: People are always looking for opportunities to grow. E-learning allows employees to quickly get up to speed on new processes. One major complaint about older style training methods is that the time-consuming nature of the programs takes away from valuable time that could have been spent on other work. With Training Management Systems, students can participate in their online courses at any time from any location – including at home, during downtime at work, or anywhere else they feel is appropriate.
Convenience and flexibility: E-learning means no boundaries. Students have the ability to participate in online courses from anywhere with an internet connection. This eliminates a lot of energy spent coordinating where and when a course will take place. Gathering a whole team of students together in one place is never easy. E-learning gives both teachers and students more flexibility with getting important training completed just-in-time as requirements change.
Timely feedback: Students are able to get real-time feedback during an online training course. Additionally, because everything is connected online, teachers/institutions can also get up-to-date analysis on how courses are doing, and track the progress of individual employees. No manual evaluations of course work. If you want to include quizzes in your training, all course authors need to do is provide the correct answers, and the learning management system can automate the grading and evaluation.
Easier access to information: We all know that referring back to sloppy hand-written notes taken during training sessions is not the most effective way to retain information. Electronic training helps take the paper out of the equation altogether. E-learning materials are stored online, so students/instructors can access important resources any time they encounter a question or difficult situation.
Improved retention: E-learning gives instructors the opportunity to create fun and engaging training course through the use of videos, interactive slides, and even games. These intriguing courses lead to better results by helping students retain more of the information learned.
Personalized
learning: Not every student learns the same way. Even though the course
material is consistent for all users, e-learning allows each individual learner
to control the pace of the course. Because of the flexibility e-learning
provides, users can also take the course in an environment more conducive to
their learning style.
The
benefits of online learning are plentiful. E-learning will help companies and
academic institutions to create a higher quality, more effective training
experience for employees and students, all at a more affordable cost. When
employees/students can be more excited about training, their engagement
carries over into the rest of their work.
