They say necessity is the mother of invention. Using the brain that we humans are famous for, we have surpassed the greatest obstacles life has put across our path by innovative strategies and the drive to better ourselves for the future. E-learning is one such phenomenon which has revolutionized the world of employee training as we know it. Now, with just a click of a few buttons, we can be open to a vast library of knowledge which will (hopefully) have no end. Now, these online techniques have huge implications for the employee training as well as the academic learning environment. That's because E-learning can:
Save Time and Money
The more distant people are from each other, the more time and money is required to make their learning experience more convenient. Right? That was the "conventional wisdom" before E-learning. Why? Because most of the money is spent on flight costs, lodging, meals and other expenses before the employee learns even one new fact or skill!With the cost of travel often exceeding the cost of the training, more companies are looking for alternatives. Even if you have employees located from Alaska to Antarctica,E-learning can not only avoid those expenses, butalso reduces disruption to the workplace. This allows more time and money for the actual training courses as well.
Increase Productivity
Since E-learning allows each participant to focus on the training that really matters, they get greater chances to increase their productive skills. Participants who take part in programs like Federal Grants management training for instance, are able to receive training anytime and anywhere they think convenient. Whether they are at home, work or overseas, e-learning helps them to hone their specific skills right from their computer.
Reduces Risks
Other compliance training programs have also greatly benefited from e-learning since it allows them to customize training to simulate real life situations for their trainees. This allows them to greatly reduce the various risks that occur with an untrained workforce. Refresher training also reduces the chances of "risky" behaviors recurring anytime soon. For example, the high cost of non-compliance to the maze of Federal grant regulations can be vastly reduced by offering training to Grant professionals on administrative requirements and cost principles. Investing a small amount in employee training can reap big rewards in real-life risk reduction for organizations adopting e-learning as their medium of instruction.
