eLearning

eLearning supports learning as well as the organisation of learning using web technology. eLearning solutions should improve training return. There are several reasons why you might want to use eLearning.

1. Always available

   Your students have the opportunity to study whenever and where-ever it is convenient to them, 24/7 and 365 days per year.

2. Accessible

   eLearning can be used through the internet, both at home and at the work place. eLearning should works in standard browsers without special software or hardware requirements.

3. The student determines

   The student decides when they feel like studying and what will be studied.

4. Goal-oriented studying

   No studying at a specific time and place but ‘just in time’ goal-oriented studying.

5. Modern

   Your clients expect your training to be up-to-date and enhanced with modern information technology.

6. Insight in progress and results

   Both progress and results of the students can be reported to a manager, HR Officer or training coordinator. Through a notification process, this ‘mentor’ can also be kept informed about a students’ completion of training parts, for example, by a knowledge test that grants access to the practice session.

7. Measuring and effective guidance

   Teachers have online insight into the points of attention of individual students and the entire group. They can address these by means of individual intervention or (just in time) adjustments to the training program.

8. Measuring and continues improvement

   Insight in effort, progress and results are the basis for a continuing process of improving the training for your target group.

9. Immediate feedback

   eLearning is characterised by immediate feedback on scores and progress. The confirmation  and lack of knowledge in feedback is essential for the motivation of students.

10. Animations and simulations

    eLearning provides multiple opportunities to transfer teaching material. Sometimes multimedia animations and simulations are better suited than traditional training material.

11. Better learning experiences by interaction

    Actively working with a subject through interactions in the training materials results in more involvement of the student.

12. Appealing

    The design and the use of multimedia make eLearning more varied and appealing.

13. Various learning styles

    Use of multimedia does not only make studying accessible but also effective for students with various learning style preferences.

14. Cost reduction

    Training can be developed and implemented cost effectively. This creates a positive business case in relation to traditional training.

15. Less time in the classroom

    The use of contact hours can be reduced significantly. A large part of the studying can take place online. Students have less time away from their workplace and need less travel time.

16. Larger impact in shorter time

    A large group can be trained in a limited time period. Try to get 200 managers in a classroom for 2 weeks.

17. Better knowledge retention

    After the training the course content can be made available as a reference. Knowledge retention before and after the exam can also be higher due to adaptive retention training.

18. Make studying fun

    eLearning must also be fun. Creating a positive learning experience is all about the flow experience. You can achieve this by an accessible platform and by content that meets the students’ expectations. All of this in a training course that challenges the student sufficiently but is not too difficult and provides immediate feedback.

19. Serious gaming

    A game format helps in learning, especially if your target group has a competitive state of mind.

20. Integration with current training

    eLearning can be an addition to your current training. The effectiveness is mainly determined by the integration with the "traditional" training.

21. Integration with training processes and applications

    eLearning enables further automation of distribution, administration and communication. Integration of your business applications with the eLearning platform helps you to organize training.

22. Optimise the use of freelance teachers

    Educators that work with a lot of freelance teachers use the eLearning platform to offer their training uniformly. Training material and information about the meetings is distributed amongst the students via the platform. Furthermore, the effort and the results of the group are monitored per teacher. Also, communication between teacher and student runs through the web application and thus remains within the domain of the educator.

23. Getting student feedback

    Your students have an interest in the quality of your products. If you get them actively involved in testing ‘beta’ versions and invite them to respond to the content of the course, it will become apparent how useful their feedback is.

24. Opportunities for marketing and product development

    eLearning provides new opportunities in existing markets but also an added value to current customers. The method offers an opportunity to build relationships with individuals and creates opportunities to stimulate cross-selling or collect target group information and feedback.

25. Efficient learning

    Both learning and the organisation of learning can be more efficient using eLearning.

26. Better return on training

    Proper use of e-learning improves the return of training, both financially and didactically.
