E-Learning & Training

Learning is a lifelong responsibility to yourself.

The Learning Policy Institute found that effective professional development has 7 characteristics which are:

  1. Content-focused
  2. Active Learning
  3. Collaboration
  4. Effective Practice
  5. Coaching and Expert Resource
  6. Feedback and Reflection
  7. Sustained Duration

Conundrum follows these characteristics in order to provide a well-rounded and cohesive learning experience for you in our training and e-learning modules.

I believe that these characteristics make for a complete learning program.

E-Learning does enable knowledge seekers to advance their desire for learning anytime, anywhere, allowing for more flexibility and consistency. What I find to be the best about e-learning is that it is a great way for knowledge seekers to learn at their own pace, using their mental processing without being held back or hurried by peers.

What are the advantages of e-learning?

You can link all of your various educational resources, which can be in several varying formats, to use to educate your knowledge seekers. This is a very efficient way of delivering onlines courses. Mainly because of its convenience and flexibility—the resources are available from anywhere and at any time.

The different learning styles can be visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic.

Types of e-learning

  • Lesson-based learning
  • One-on-one learning
  • Group learning
  • Course-based learning
  • Video-based learning
  • Article-based learning
  • Self-paced learning

Is e-learning the best type of learning?

In 2017 there was a study regarding e-learning courses. It was found that distance-based learning programs consumed around 90% less power and generated 85% less amount of CO2 emissions as compared to traditional campus-based educational courses. ... Therefore, e-learning is a highly eco-friendly way of learning.

Knowledge Seekers Benefits Using E-learning

The Knowledge Seekers of today want a mode of learning that provides learning at their pace, within their comfort zone—physically and mentally. They need the learning to be the most relevant, mobile, self-paced, and personalized content. This is done with online learning. Here is an analytical look at the advantages of online learning.

1. Online Learning for Everyone

Online learning is best suited for everyone. The global digital revolution has led to remarkable changes in how the content is accessed, consumed, discussed, and shared. Online courses can be taken up by office goers and those who work from home too, at the time that works for them. Depending on their availability and comfort, many people choose to learn at weekends or evenings. Whatever works for them!

2. Online Lectures

Unlike conventional classroom teaching, with online learning you can access the content an unlimited number of times. This is especially required at the time of revision when preparing for an exam. In previous learning situations, if you cannot attend a lecture, then you have to prepare for that topic on your own. With e-learning, you can attend the lectures whenever you want to.

3. The Frequency of Content Change

Content is a living thing and in constant change. E-Learning offers the ability to update this content in step with technology trends. This is a prime benefit of online learning is that it makes sure that you are in synchronization with other knowledge seekers with global accessibility whenever they want it.

4. Quick Delivery

E-learning is a way to provide quick delivery of lessons with quick delivery cycles. This indicates that the time required to learn is reduced to 30%-65% of what is required in traditional learning. There are some of the reasons why the learning time is reduced by e-learning:

  • Lessons start quickly and are also wrapped up in a single session. This enables training programs to easily roll out within a few weeks or sometimes even days.
  • Knowledge seekers can define their own speed of learning instead of following the speed of the whole group.
  • Cost and time savings since no need to travel to the training site. You can learn in the comfort in a place of your choosing.
  • Knowledge seekers can choose to study specific and relevant areas of the learning material without focusing on each and every area when they are not applicable to their needs.

5. Scalability

E-learning is a very quick way of learning! This method helps in creating and communicating new training, policies, procedures, concepts, and ideas.

6. Consistency

E-learning enables training centers to get a higher degree of coverage to communicate the message in a consistent way for their target audience. This ensures that all knowledge seekers receive the same type of training.

7. Reduction in Costs

E-learning is cost effective as compared to traditional forms of learning. The reason for this price reduction is because learning through e-learning happens quickly and easily. Most of the training time is reduced with respect to trainers, travel, course materials, and accommodation.

This cost effectiveness also helps in enhancing the profitability of an organization. Also, when you are studying at your own place, you are relieved from paying for travel expenses.

8. Effectiveness of e-learning

E-learning has a positive influence on an organization’s profitability. It makes it easy to grasp the content and consume it at the knowledge seeker’s pace.

  • It results in improved scores on certifications, tests, or other types of evaluation.
  • Higher number of knowledge seekers who achieve ‘pass’ or mastery’ level.
  • Creates an enhanced ability to learn and implement the new processes or knowledge at the workplace.
  • Aids in a longer retention time.

9. Less Environmental Impact

As e-learning is a paperless way of learning, it protects the environment to a lot of extent. With e-learning, there is no need to cut trees for obtaining paper. Therefore, e-learning is a highly eco-friendly way of learning.

Conclusion

E-learning offers an individual and a corporation the ability to maintain a global pace with technological changes and continue to expand the advancement of knowledge seekers.
