E Learning: Learning and Development

Modern changes in the global economy have led to many more technology and service based businesses in an increasingly technical environment–most employees use a computer at the very least.

Your business needs constant updates for your workforce to maintain their competitive edge and to accommodate new technology applications.

Significantly, there is high demand for technically able employees alongside a reduction in the numbers of people able to fulfill the roles. There is a need for information to be processed and provided to the workforce to enable them to effectively perform their duties.

Here some important factors to consider regarding E Learning.

Learners can proceed through a Learning program "at their own pace and at their own place." They can also access the e-Learning course at anytime, and only as much as they need. This is also known as "Just in time and just enough."

E-Learning courses are accessible by Web browsers on any platform: Windows, Mac, UNIX, OS/2, Amiga, etc. You can deliver your Learning program to any machine over the Internet or intranet without having to author a program specifically for each platform.

Most computer users have access to a browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer, and are connected to a company's intranet and/or have access to the Internet.

No separate distribution mechanism is needed. E-Learning courses are accessible from any computer anywhere in the world, which keeps delivery costs low.

After the e-Learning course is released, any changes can be made on the server hosting the program and everyone worldwide can instantly access the update. Courses can be designed to access designated current information, such as the latest new product specifications, from any other server worldwide for an on-the-fly update whenever the e-Learning course is run.

There are no travel costs for bringing remote employees to a centralized workshop because the Web is available from all desktops. According to some analysts, the actual time required for training by computer averages about 50% to that of instructor-led Learning, further saving money.

The human resource function within companies has a growing awareness of their Learning needs. LERA provides customized E-Learning to supply the answers for them. Your staff can be trained at their own pace, to suit individual Learning styles.
