Demos Why eLearning ROI on eLearning

Why eLearning



According to popular belief, classroom training leads to greater interaction than computer-based training, thus leading to greater success. However, realizing that this assumption is not based on fact, increasingly, organizations are using eLearning instead of classroom training or to compliment classroom training.

Classroom training is still an effective way to train a small group of people, physically show a product, or conduct role-plays. It would be difficult as well as expensive to substitute these training requirements using any other medium.

However, eLearning can be easily used to complement these
training sessions as well as replace most other types of training. Please review the table below to understand the various features of eLearning and to the important questions you need to consider while deciding if eLearning is right for your requirements.

FEATURES CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS

  • Are your learners spread over multiple geographic locations?
  • Do your learners travel often?
  • Do you need to bring your learners to one geographic location for training?
  • Do your learners normally have busy schedules?
  • Can your learners take time off to travel to the training center?

Self-Paced
  • Do you have adult learners with varied learning curves?
  • Do you have learners who would like to skip content they already know and spend more time on what they do not?
  • Do you have learners who need to go through each topic more than once which may not be possible every time in a classroom?

  • Do you conduct training and do not really know if it has been a success?
  • Do you know if performance has improved before the learner gets back to work after training?
  • Do you wonder whether your learners remember important information a month or a year after training?
