If Knowledge is Power
If knowledge is power, then let e-learning be your company's competitive weapon.
Even in tough economic times training is essential to the growth and development of the individual and their organization. Today's workers often work longer hours than at any time before and consequently may require more flexibility in their learning process.
Distant education (e-learning) is an excellent solution to this growing training need. By incorporating computers and the Internet into the mix of tools available, organizations can provide training that is flexible, convenient, efficient, and less costly than more established methods.
On-line training is rapidly becoming an important tool in the arsenal of training and education. It is an effective addition to the current training approaches.
The benefits of online training go beyond simple convenience and flexibility. Unlike the traditional classroom, online courses provide each participant with the same information that can be accessed anytime and as often as necessary. Productivity is also protected since employees do not have to devote large periods of time to training but rather schedule learning sessions over a short period of time.
Popular e-learning options include online courses that can be completed in one or several sessions and can even be downloaded to a laptop computer for employees who frequently travel or those who prefer to learn at home. Often, this type of online professional development course offers information to participants in modules. The employee can review the learning content at his or her own pace and contact subject matter experts electronically for clarification and further discussion.
If you're not yet convinced that e-learning is right for your company, here are 5-reasons why you should be using e-learning:
1. Reduce costs…Save thousands on travel expenses and lost productivity by training employees online---at their own pace and according to their own schedule.
2. Accelerate the learning process…With no travel days or scheduling conflicts, you can get all of your people up to speed in weeks instead of months.
3. Extend coverage…Using virtual classrooms you can train each employee in every department across the company at once---and make sure they're all learning the same things.
4. People empowerment…choose your pace…choose your place.
In a recent survey of 5,000 employees at Fortune 500 companies, nearly half said they'd be enthusiastic if told they would be taught something online, and 19% admitted to preferring e-learning over any other method of instruction. People are now thinking, "I have to learn something... can I learn it online?" At more and more companies, the answer is yes.
Here are a few quotes from Price Pritchett, Chairman and CEO of Pritchett &Associates, Inc., a Dallas-based firm specializing in organizational change:
"Lifelong learning is the only way to remain competitive in the job market."
"The more you know how to do, and the better you do it, the more valuable you become."
"Defend your career by developing a better package of knowledge and skills than the next person."
"We must constantly retool ourselves, become perpetual students or we risk becoming obsolete. "
