5 Benefits of eLearning & Online Training Programs
eLearning and Online Training Platforms have revolutionized the way businesses and organizations approach training and ongoing education. By replacing traditional trainers and classrooms with Learning Management Systems (LMS), you can provide a more effective training/education program with a wide range of benefits.
At ViewSource Media, we help clients plan, implement, integrate and manage eLearning and Online Training Platforms of all shapes and sizes. Here are six of the many benefits our clients have experienced:
1. A Better Learning Experience for Students
Recent studies show that students want to learn at their own pace, outside of the classroom. They want their courses to be personalized, mobile-friendly and relevant to the work they do. By providing an eLearning experience, many companies have seen big improvements in test scores and training success.
2. Cutting Edge Tools for Instructors
By offering web-based training and education systems, employers gain access to a wide range of tracking and reporting tools. You can learn where your team needs to improve over time, and evaluate the effectiveness of your course materials by scheduling assignments and exams throughout the education process.
3. Faster Course Delivery
Online courses are easy to create, implement and manage. Because the course timeline is flexible, learners can finish at their own pace, without having to wait for the rest of the group. There is also no travel or commuting needed, which saves students and instructors valuable time.
4. All Learning is Centralized
All course material is kept in a centralized database, so when changes are made to course work, forms, learning resources, calendars and other online tools, all system users will be up-to-date immediately. You don't have to worry that some students will have out-of-date materials or information.
5. Significantly Lower Costs
eLearning and Online Training Platforms help cut costs in a variety of ways. You don't need hired instructors or rented space for each class, and you don't have to worry about textbooks or printed materials. These benefits, plus students and instructors not having to travel to class, are also great for the environment.
