What is eLearning and Why is It Important?

eLearning is a form of learning that delivers educational content and training to learners.  It is also known as online learning or computer-based training, CBT.

It is important for several reasons. First, it allows learners to access educational content anytime and anywhere. This can increase flexibility and convenience. Learners can complete training at their own pace, on their own schedule, and from any location with internet access.

It improves the effectiveness of learning. By using multimedia, interactive elements, and simulations, eLearning can engage learners and provide a more immersive and impactful learning experience. It can also incorporate assessments and feedback mechanisms to help learners track their progress and identify areas for improvement.

It’s generally more cost effective than traditional classroom-based learning. By eliminating the need for physical classrooms, travel, and printed materials, eLearning can reduce costs for both learners and educational institutions.

Finally, it helps organizations make sure everyone is following an agreed process, and being on the same page, through effective visual communication.

For these reasons, eLearning is important to any large organization looking to train effective employees and leaders.
