TRAINING ONLINE

Posted by: Juliette Denny | 25 March 2010 | Learning on line / Learning portals / LMS

Traditional employee training can be a expensive and time-consuming task for staff and channel partners.  It requires that everyone involved get together at the same time/place, and the trainer must be paid for his/her time, even though the same material is presented again and again. Conventional training involves print materials, travel expenses, and many other cost-producing aspects.

There a better way to deliver high quality training to employees without the hefty expense, inconvenience, and loss of productivity?

The solution: Online Training. Online training applications are a great way to deliver standardised material to large groups.

Here are a few more perks for adopting an Online Training program:

  • Flexibility: Online training works great with tight schedules. Since many people are living busy lives, these Web-based applications can be reached from home or any other Internet-accessible computer anytime! No more scheduled training sessions to work around. Employees can train at their own pace, and work around their schedules, thereby minimizing loss of productivity.
  • Relevance: All content-managed courses stay up-to-date, ensuring that the most accurate, relevant information reaches trainees.
  • Affordable: Companies with a large volume of high-turnover positions where continuous training is necessary can save thousands with online training programs. They eliminate classroom related costs and materials' expenses. Now trainers can develop the course content, present it once and go on to the next project. Trainers only need to revisit the course if the content needs to be modified.
  • Retention: Since trainees are learning at their own pace, the learning retention rate is often higher than in a classroom setting. They can still have opportunities to email or call the teacher to ask questions, although many online courses now offer an updatable FAQ section where they can look first for answers to the most commonly asked questions, which reduces repetitive questions.
  • Reporting: Most applications, like the Growt Engineering Academy Platform are customisable. The reporting tools are also customized to suit the company. During the analysis phase of the project, we can help you determine what components are most important and develop easy ways to gather the exact data needed for grading.

Not only can online elearning be interactive they can also include all types of multimedia to ensure the learnig experience is engaging and compelling. Web-based applications a great solution for online training. Less extensive Web-based learning are a great way to get information out about certain products or services.

Sales personnel and/or consumers can easily access information online to educate themselves about upcoming products.
