E-Learning as Corporate Training Tool: Is It Practical?

(?)

E-learning is becoming more and more popular in the real world. If a layman wishes to be introduced to a particular discipline, or become more adept in it, all he or she has to do is log in. And all one really needs to enroll is a credit card, a working and online computer terminal, and time. For the convenience and ease of use it offers, more and more companies are looking into e-learning as a corporate training tool.

Understandably, some companies still feel inhibited from taking their training modules online. They are worried about security issues, training efficiency, cost-efficiency, and other practical concerns that come with adopting e-learning as corporate training tool. But one must ask if e-training is in fact more practical in the long run, than traditional training alternatives - or no training at all?

Most companies view personnel training as a major investment. They are sometimes willing to spend millions of dollars on stable learning infrastructure that would meet all their internal training needs. Traditionally, this infrastructure is not online, as companies are well aware of the benefits of having one's corporate trainers present in the same room as one's trainees. But as technology advances, more and more tools for simulating a conducive training environment are becoming available to online tutors.

Corporate training doesn't have to stop with technical skills, or with personality development lessons. You may also wish for your employees to become better trained in English, or another business-essential language, and in order to do that, you must hire the services of a qualified training company that offers this particular service. That is, if you don't want to go through the trouble of drafting an entire training plan all by yourself. And training companies that are qualified to teach language and other basic skills may not always be found locally. In fact, it may be more beneficial to secure the aid of a training service provider based overseas, where the costs of maintaining the tutorial services are cheaper, and one-on-one training schedules with employees may be more flexible!

Employees may not feel at ease about learning things like grammar and basic accounting in an office environment. In fact, some employees may be readier to absorb any new information, from simple to complex, in the comfort of their own homes. This is where hiring an offshore company with e-training capacities comes in most handy. After regular office hours, employees may retire to the cushy, familiar environment of their living rooms or bedrooms, relax their tired bodies and minds, and become more receptive to new information. Trainers who are available during these valuable off hours

E-learning as corporate training tool has unlimited potential. These potentials are what major global players like Qantas, Motorola, Cisco Systems, and the rest are seeing. However, if you are a small business investor with limited resources, you must weigh the benefits versus the cost of having e-learning systems in place. Is it worth it to purchase expensive e-learning platforms and tools to build up your employees' skill base? Or are traditional learning methods more practical?

The Modern Lily Tomlin

I’m waiting in a conference room that smells like the corner of career aspiration and stale office carpet. The overly heavy and overly bitter receptionist has a voice that is piercing through the makeshift conference room with walls that only go up about 7 feet. Like an annoying hiccup, she keeps repeating “Good morning, Hudson. Your name? Hold please.” Over and over again. She is an extra large version of what the rest of the world has automated already.
