What are the benefits of elearning?

- You know, over the last decade or so, more and more organizations have started using elearning as a way to deliver learning content. And while traditional instructor-led training is still very popular and widely used, elearning offers some unique benefits that you simply can't ignore. For starters, elearning can be distributed globally. This means you can deliver a scalable learning solution, whether it's to 500 learners across the country or 5,000 learners around the globe. Elearning also offers a consistent learning experience and message for your learners. With elearning, you don't have to depend on an instructor to deliver the content. You can trust that each of your learners will receive the same message. And this is great for compliance training, or any training that is legally regulated. And speaking of your learners, because most elearning is self-paced, your learners can access your elearning course when they actually need it the most. This is especially useful if you're creating elearning that will act as an on-demand performance support resource like an interactive job aid. And finally, because most elearning is delivered through some sort of learning management system or LMS, you can track and report on the progress of your learners. You know, because elearning can be created once and delivered multiple times to multiple learners in multiple locations, it all adds up to you and your organization potentially saving a lot of time and money. So as you think about whether or not an elearning course is the right solution, make sure you take the time to consider some of the benefits it can offer.
