The Value of e-Learning in a Tough Economy

The Question Everyone Is Asking:

How can we do more with less?

Critical Needs:• Reduce training budget without sacrificing

effectiveness• Reach more learners, at lower cost?• Reduce or eliminate travel costs?• Ensure productivity and minimize time away

from work?

The Answer: Technology-Enabled Learning

The traditional approach• Classroom based• One time event• Apart from work• Inconsistent• Inflexible scheduling• Travel required• Impossible to scale, inefficient

Technology-Enabled Learning• Online or blended• Continuous• In the flow of work• Consistent• Anytime, anywhere• No travel required• Efficient, economical and scalable

Continuous Learning vs. Event Learning
