Benefits of e-Learning
Like no other training form, e-learning promises to provide a single
experience that accommodates the three distinct learning styles of
auditory learners, visual learners, and kinesthetic learners. Other
unique opportunities created by the advent and development of e-learning
are more efficient training of a globally dispersed audience; and
reduced publishing and distribution costs as Web-based training becomes a
standard.
E-learning also offers individualized instruction, which print media
cannot provide, and instructor-led courses allow clumsily and at great
cost. In conjunction with assessing needs, e-learning can target
specific needs. And by using learning style tests, e-learning can locate
and target individual learning preferences.
Additionally, synchronous e-learning is self-paced. Advanced learners
are allowed to speed through or bypass instruction that is redundant
while novices slow their own progress through content, eliminating
frustration with themselves, their fellow learners, and the course.
In these ways, e-learning is inclusive of a maximum number of
participants with a maximum range of learning styles, preferences, and
needs. |
