The next big killer application for the Internet is going to be education. Education over the Internet is going to be so big it is going to make email usage look like a rounding error. - John Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco Systems

What is eLearning?

“E-learning refers to the use of Internet technologies to deliver a broad array of solutions that enhance knowledge and performance.” Rosenberg claims that elearning is based on three fundamental criteria:

• E-learning is networked, instant updating, storage and retrieval, distribution and sharing of information is therefore possible.
• E-learning is delivered to the end-user via a computer using standard internet technologies.
• E-learning focuses on the broadest view of learning: learning solutions going beyond the traditional paradigms of training.

Information Age Training Techniques

Most companies in today’s business world waste time and money on Industrial Age training techniques that are no longer efficient in our new Information Age economy. In so many areas of business new and more efficient methods using the Internet have been accepted and embraced. However, some companies continue to use the concept of old training strategies for their employees despite the fact these methods are no longer the most efficient.

Classroom Training is No Longer the Most Efficient Training Method

In business, what worked yesterday can become obsolete quickly. Now that companies are expanding globally, they must keep up with the demand in a competitive environment. The ability to keep your geographically dispersed employees and sales channels up to speed and informed is becoming more of a challenge. The need to distribute knowledge and information quickly to the workforce is ever changing the economy. Old ideas are quickly replaced by new ideas. The Internet is changing the way people think and do business. It is a powerful tool to communicate and transfer knowledge and information. To be successful, companies must get their information out quickly and efficiently. Time is crucial to compete in today’s environment.

Information Age training facts include:

• eLearning efficiently reaches your national or global workforce
  • eLearning can quickly distribute critical company information and training out to your dispersed workforce more efficiently than having employees travel all over the country for a seminar or classroom training
• eLearning reduces training costs
  • Organizations can reduce costs they incur with travel and lodging expenses, printing costs, instructor salary and benefits, and time away from critical work
• eLearning can increase sales for your organization
  • A trained and informed sales channel will help increase sales. Most salespeople do not perform well in sales due to lack of product knowledge and company sales methods.
• Information Age training methods reduce time
  • The time your employees spend out of the office traveling to and attending classroom training events and seminars should be spent productively in the work environment.

Information Age Training Methods

Information Age training methods are no secret. Online training, or eLearning, has been used for several years and continues to evolve. Some companies embrace eLearning and have been doing it for many years, while others are in the preliminary stages trying to incorporate it into their organizations. Those companies not using the Internet for business or training will quickly be left behind their competition. For more information contact James McGriff at (866) 878-2490
