Advantages of eLearning

eLearning provides definite advantages over other forms of training. If you’re new to eLearning or grappling with whether to try it, here are some benefits you should consider.

Speed of Rollout – eLearning can occur simultaneously across large or geographically dispersed audiences.

Consistency – with eLearning, all users receive the same information and messages in a consistent format, at a consistent pace.

Access – eLearning is permanently available and can be accessed anywhere and anytime. This enables what most global corporations now call “informal learning”. A learner can access just-in-time training as an on-hand job aid.

Business Continuity – the availability of eLearning means that individuals can ‘attend’ training at any time, removing the burden of lost productivity when entire teams are sent out to expensive, scheduled training.

Self Paced – users can pause an eLearning module at any time and come back to finish it later.

Cost Effective – for large audiences, development costs per person are minimal. Plus there are no additional expenses related to room hire, catering, printing of training manuals, travel or accommodation.

Flexibility & Customisation – content can be reused and updated as and when information changes. Content or scenarios can also be customised and repurposed for different target audiences.

Measurement – Completion status and grading is simple to track and quantify with eLearning.

Multiple Languages – eLearning can easily be converted into other languages via text, audio and even content localisation whilst maintaining consistent messages and themes.

Delivery Options – eLearning can be delivered via multiple modes to suit specialised audience types and technical constraints. Courses can be delivered over the web, via intranet, Sharepoint, CD, DVD, USB flash-drive, mobile phone or even via a fully-functional learning management system, such as A.S.K Learning’s own Inspire Platform.
