eLearning

With the addition of eLearning to your training program, you can provide a much richer learning experience and save on the costs associated with human instructors.

Unique Features of eLearning

  • Accommodate each of the three main learning types: auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners. No need to create three separate courses or worry about not reaching your entire audience.
  • Individualized instruction through the use of tracking and database integration can locate and target individual learning preferences.
  • Self-paced training allows the end user to absorb and interact with the courseware at their speed and comprehension rate regardless of whether fast or slow. Therefore, advanced users can save time by skipping ahead and others who may want more time do not slow the rest of a class down or miss vital information. 
  • Reduces or eliminates costs associated with travel, overhead salaries, equipment costs, and the other various costs associated with human-led instruction. 

Advantages of eLearning to the Trainer or Organization
Some of the most outstanding advantages to the trainer or organization are:

  • Reduced overall cost is the single most influential factor in adopting e-learning. The elimination of costs associated with instructor's salaries, meeting room rentals, and student travel, lodging, and meals are directly quantifiable. The reduction of time spent away from the job by employees may be the most positive offshoot.
  • Learning times reduced an average of 40 to 60 percent, as found by Brandon Hall (Web-based Training Cookbook, 1997, p. 108).
  • Increased retention and application to the job averages an increase of 25 percent over traditional methods, according to an independent study by J.D. Fletcher (Multimedia Review, Spring 1991, pp.33-42).
  • Consistent delivery of content is possible with asynchronous, self-paced e-learning.
  • Expert knowledge is communicated, but more importantly captured, with good e-learning and knowledge management systems.
  • Proof of completion and certification, essential elements of training initiatives, can be automated. 

Advantages of eLearning to the Student
Along with the increased retention, reduced learning time, and other aforementioned benefits to students, particular advantages of eLearning include:

  • On-demand availability enables students to complete training conveniently at off-hours or from home.
  • Self-pacing for slow or quick learners reduces stress and increases satisfaction.
  • Interactivity engages users, pushing them rather than pulling them through training.
  • Confidence that refresher or quick reference materials are available reduces burden of responsibility of mastery.

Strategic Planning

Before you begin building a house, you need to develop blueprints to guide the construction crew. In order to create blueprints, you need to collect information. You need to review requirements from the buyer, check building codes and local restrictions, and further more assess what funding you have to work within.
 

In the world of communications this is no different. To achieve the greatest success, research and analysis is required to guide your planning process.  Assessing business goals, researching competition, marketplace, and strengths and weaknesses are all used in leading the development of strategy and direction for any effort.
