E-Learning

E-learning is a catch-all term for Internet-based distance education. It includes such things as self-paced instruction available on the Web, Instructor-facilitated courses delivered at a distance, and mini-tutorials delivered on mobile devices (see M-Learning). In many instances, e-learning is used in conjunction with face-to-face instruction to create what is known as blended learning.

The benefits and utility of e-learning are reflected in the fact that virtually all large organizations – private sector companies, public institutions (e.g. hospitals), non-profit agencies, and universities among them – now use e-learning to meet some or all of their instructional needs. Many smaller organizations, too, have discovered that low-cost off-the-shelf Learning Management Systems (LMS), authoring software, cloud-based course hosting, and other resources make e-learning an attractive option for their instructional needs.

E-Learning Benefits:

For Providers

• Greater control over messaging and learning content (compared with instructor-led training)
• Immediate access to training for new hires (no waiting for the next offering of a course)
• Ability to update and edit learning content “on the fly”
• Increased ability to track learner progress through a course or through an entire program of learning
• Reduced costs for student and instructor travel, accommodation and time off the job
• Reduced need for the overhead costs associated with face-to-face learning (e.g. classrooms, supplies, instructors)
