Employee growth is critical to the success of every company. eLearning provides the most accessible means of training and updating your employees, placing them all on the same page, at the same time.
Standardized Quality of Training
The effectiveness of instructor-led training is highly dependent on the abilities and daily mindset of the instructor. An instructor having an “off” day can greatly reduce or even eliminate the retention of learning objectives for classroom participants. eLearning is standardized: every learner has access to the same high-quality instruction. Further, by tracking trends in the results of quizzes and test, curriculum developers can accurately determine the effectiveness of the materials, unaffected by the quality of an instructor’s delivery.
Increased Retention
eLearning is proven to be less intimidating than instructor-led training. Concerns about making mistakes in front of peers and management are eliminated. Simulated application environments empower users to learn business processes without fears of entering incorrect data or “breaking” the system. Since learners can work independently, at their own pace, they retain information up to 50% more than in instructor-led training.
Cost Effective
According to Training Magazine, corporations save between 50-70% when replacing instructor-led training with eLearning. eLearning also conveys the same educational objectives in a shorter timeframe than instructor-led training, reducing the time an employee is away from the job. Because eLearning can be taken anytime, anywhere, it doesn’t interfere with the critical operations of the employee. Employees can “bookmark” training and come back to it later. Finally, the just-in-time capability of eLearning provides a first tier of support to users of new technologies, resulting in an estimated 30% reduction in support costs related to the implementation of new applications and business processes.
Learning Takes Place Anytime, Anywhere
An estimated 72% of all workers use computers on the job, eliminating the technology blockades of the past, such as access to the Web, bandwidth, etc. Because eLearning is available to end users whenever they need it, wherever they are, 24/7, corporations can now effectively deliver mission critical information to their employees in real time.
Real-time Access to Training
In addition to delivering training 24/7, corporations can now update training contents instantaneously. Dynamic content keeps users up to date in fast paced industries, with no need to collect outdated materials, distribute updated materials, and validation that users, indeed, are accessing the latest information available.
Access & Capacity
Users who need to “brush up” on a particular business process can access the training module instantly, practice via simulation, test themselves on the module, and resume their work. This enables a corporation to make large amounts of information available to employees without sacrificing manageability or timely presentation.
