Another great feature of eLearning is its cost-effectiveness. To train an organisation with 2000 employees in 5 locations face-to-face would cost approximately $110,000. It would only cost roughly $37,000 to deliver the same training online. The best part? You can then repeat that training without incurring the same cost. eLearning can save organisations tens of thousands in the short-term, and much more over time.
Higher interaction means higher retention
Users who can interact with learning material have much higher retention of information than those that can’t. This reason is where eLearning shows so much promise because you can engage your learners in so many different ways. Gamification is a beautiful technique that allows organisations to add game mechanics such as point-scoring and levels to their courses to boost learning engagement. Game-based learning is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to what eLearning will be able to achieve as technology continues to evolve.
The technology keeps getting better
Technology is continuing to grow at an alarming rate, and eLearning has many practical applications for new innovative tech. Virtual and Augmented Reality, which immerses users in a virtual world, is an excellent example of this. This technology gives learners the ability to get more hands-on in their learning, boosting retention. There have also been advances in technologies such as biometric devices, Artificial Intelligence and robotics. This all points to eLearning are becoming more active and engaging in the future.
Overall, eLearning provides organisations with a cheaper and more effective alternative to traditional methods when it comes to the training staff. The great news is that it will only continue to evolve and become more active as technology continues to grow.

I find it interesting to learn that you can now conduct training online! My friend needs a traffic management course finished before this month ends and having this done online would help him lots. I should ask him to look for online courses so he’d be able to get a certificate for his employer.
