FAQ

  • What is e-Learning?

    e-Learning is the convergence of learning and the Internet.
    e-Learning uses the power of networks, primarily those that rely on Internet technologies, satellite channels, and digital content to enable learning.
    e-Learning is forever. Continuous education. Daily learning. Work becomes learning, learning becomes work.

  • How Does it matter?

    How Does it matter? Learning has become a vital continuous business function, old-style training cannot keep pace. Traditional workshops cost a fortune and time away from the workplace. In the eyes of many senior managers, off-site workshops have always been somewhere between a total waste of time and a boondoggle, the "great training robbery."
    e-Learning is attractive to corporations because it promises the best use of time, accelerated learning, global reach, fast pace, and accountability. It's manageable. It cuts paperwork and administrative overhead. Sometimes it can be outsourced, providing more time for leveraging the organization's core competence. e-Learners like it, too.

  • What are the pitfalls?
    1. Habits, customs, and culture
    2. Technology delivery -- bandwidth
    3. Pricing models
    4. Lack of digital collaboration models
    5. Unreasonable level of expectation

    Certain content -- because of its nature, relative value, or importance -- is not suitable for technology based delivery. While online training is especially well suited for the acquisition of IT skills, it has certain limitations in the area of soft skills training. Other educational content that does not translate well into the virtual environment is material requiring significant hands-on interactivity, with a strong emphasis on peer review and collaboration.
