7 great reasons to
use e-learning
What is e-learning used for? There are a number of benefits
associated with implementing e-learning and our customers come to us for
different reasons. Here are some of the top reasons why Learning Pool customers
use our services.
1. Scalable,
Efficient and Fast
E-learning gives you the ability to quickly create and
communicate new policies and training. By using our Authoring Tool and our
Learning Management System (called our DLE) you’ll be able to roll-out to large
audiences cost-effectively.
2. Capacity and
consistency
E-learning offers the ability to achieve high levels of
coverage among your target audience and ensures the message communicated is
consistent. This means all learners get the same training.
3. Higher Learning
Retention than traditional learning
Blended learning results in higher knowledge retention rate
as it appeals to a wider range of learning styles. There’s also the added
ability to refresh or update coursework whenever it’s needed and learn at a
pace that suits your learners.
4. Using
e-learning saves you time and money
It reduces time away from the workplace, cuts down on
expensive travel and reduces the need for costly classroom-based training.
5. Measuring learning
activity and proving return on investment
Using our Learning Management System, tracking Learner
progress is a breeze and reporting on activity is a button press away.
6. Reduce your
carbon footprint
By delivering your training online and testing your staff
through online quizzes you’re providing alternatives to paper-based forms of
learning and testing.
7. Flexibility and
finding hard to reach people
E-learning can give staff the freedom to learn when and
where they want, and at their own pace. You can train staff who would usually
be in remote locations and have trouble getting to and from classroom training
venues.
