The Evolution of eLearning for Corporate Training
In the past, the only real option most companies had available to them for corporate training was in the use of classroom-based, in-person training programs. But in recent years, the availability of powerful cloud-based technologies combined with increasingly remote workforces (a trend that was in place even before COVID-19) have made online learning or “eLearning” the preferred method of training for most companies.
Some of the advantages eLearning offers over classroom-based training include:
Cost-Effective
eLearning eliminates the need for many of the significant expenses associated with in-person training, including travel, venue fees, catering, and the need to print and distribute training materials. And because employees can conduct their training activities during breaks or after hours, eLearning minimizes lost workforce production.
Fast Turnaround
With in-person training, there care be a significant lag between determining the need for a training course and the actual delivery of that course. In contrast, eLearning allows for a very quick turnaround of new content and courses, which can be very beneficial for time-sensitive training materials.
Self-Paced
One of the challenges of classroom-based training for employees is in the need to keep up with the pace set by the instructor. eLearning supports the need for learners to work at their own pace and even allows them to revisit pieces of training content multiple times before moving on to the next section.
Consistent
With classroom-based training, there is no assurance that multiple instructors are delivering a consistent message across multiple audiences and training sessions. With eLearning, on the other hand, you can leverage a single source of up-to-date training content and for repurpose across all of your courses and sessions.
