Training of 21st century eTraining

The days of traditional class room training are counted, it’s going to be obsolete. e-learning and in fact its newer version eTraining is far superior. While the most obvious are the flexibility and the cost savings from not having to travel or spend excess time away from work, there are also others that might not be so obvious. For example:
It’s less expensive to produce –Online programs of e-training is virtually free once you reach the break-even point. Synchronous programs will have continued costs associated with the instructor managing the class, but will still be lower than traditional courses.

It’s self-paced – All eTraining programs can be taken when needed and it allows the learner to go through smaller chunks of training that can be used and absorbed for a while before moving on. This can be seen and revied again to refresh memory.
It moves faster — eTraining courses progress up to 50 percent faster than traditional courses. This is partly because the individualised approach allows learners to skip material they already know and understand and move onto the issues they need training on.

It provides a consistent message — eTraining eliminates the problems associated with different instructors teaching slightly different material on the same subject. For company-based training, this is often critical.
It can work from any location and any time – e-learners can go through training sessions from anywhere, usually at anytime. This benefit can make learning possible for people who never would have been able to work it into their schedules prior to the development of eTraining. (If you manage a corporate learning program, however, be careful about requesting that workers learn on their own time from home.)
It can be updated easily and quickly — Online eTraining sessions are especially easy to keep up-to-date because the updated materials are simply uploaded to a server. CD-ROM-based programs may be slightly more expensive to update and distribute, but still come out cheaper than reprinting manuals and retraining instructors.
It can lead to increased retention and a stronger grasp on the subject — This is because of the many elements that are combined in eTraining to reinforce the message, such as video, audio, quizzes, interaction, etc. There is also the ability to revisit or replay sections of the training that might not have been clear the first time around. Try that in a crowded auditorium!

It encourage discussion amongs students in blogs and bring together a large number of learners together. The corporate training can be tracked and reminders can be sent
A good number of leaners have found it best way of learning, you can try it too.
