e-Learning

What is e-learning?

e-learning enables people to learn anytime and anywhere. Typically it is delivered online over the internet.

Today, many organisations are combining the best attributes of online e-learning with more traditional training forms, such as classroom, one-to-one and workshop training. This is commonly called ‘blended' learning. An example of which might include some preparatory e-learning online, then a classroom session, and then some follow-up online self study and an online assessment to really ensure the learning has been embedded.

Innovation for Learning creates e-learning and e-assessment modules for businesses and organisations throughout the UK.

Whether you are looking to develop a simple e-learning module or need advice and support to help create a complex e-learning environment, we can help. For a low cost solution, we can quickly develop e-learning on our own ISS learning platform. And for more complex solutions, we can develop solutions based on Moodle.

What are the benefits of e-learning?
 
1. Saves time and money

Many organizations are currently cutting back on travel for employees. Being able to do the training at the employees place of work (or even at home) means organisations don't need to book expensive conference rooms or have trainers travelling the country delivering classroom training. And once created, e-learning courses can be delivered again and again for no additional cost.

2. Learner time is better spent

E-learning is generally shorter than classroom training as you don't have all the logistics that come with the running a classroom session; with e-learning there's no need for welcomes, introductions, setting up and winding up sessions, breaks and the like. Since the biggest cost of any training is learner time spent in training, this makes a big difference to the bottom line.

3. All your employees get consistent learning
 
Once created, e-learning will always be delivered in exactly the same way each time it's required. Unlike classroom courses which will vary in quality depending on a lot of factors such as how good the tutor is, whether the classroom is comfortable to work in, or on the behaviour of other students in the classroom. E-learning gives consistent training time after time so that everyone gets the same information presented in the same way, time after time after time. More importantly the learners themselves directly benefit from the flexibility of e-learning, allowing them to fit it in around them and their lifestyles, and at a pace they control.
 
Some of the most common subjects that organisations use e-learning for include:
  • Induction
  • Training
  • Product knowledge
  • Compliance
  • Health and safety
