The Case for e-learning

While e-learning is not a panacea it has obvious benefits:

1) Centralized curriculum and content	Easy to update and cost-effective to maintain
2) Consistent delivery of material	Delivery is not dependent upon an instructor's consistency; there is a common platform and message for all employees in the company
3) No long lectures	Modules include only the necessary information, and then challenge the student with interactive exercises, problems and simulations.
4) Cost effective	No airfare, hotels, meals, and less time off the job can produce up to 30-60% savings over the cost of face-to-face training
5) Higher retention	Just in time learning doubles retention rates because it is more personalized and more accessible.
6) Courses are usually modular	Employees study only what they need to learn and presumably what is of interest to them
7) Anytime, anywhere learning	Start when it is convenient and move along as rapidly or slowly as desired or required, and have learning fit a work schedule
8) Programs are interactive and active	Students must actively work through assignments and problems.
