-
It's convenient -
training can be done when it is most convenient for the user,
rather than on a predetermined basis when "live" classroom
training is available
-
It's available
24/7 - training can be done at any time of the day or night
-
It's affordable -
cost is much lower than traditional training and travel costs
are eliminated (IRS estimates that 70% of its training budget is
spent on travel, room rentals and lost productivity)
-
There's no or
minimal loss of productivity - unlike traditional training where
users generally take off 1/2 or a full day of work, e-learning
can be done in shorter chunks during downtime and minimizes loss
of productivity
-
It's a one-year
license - students have an entire year to complete training and
can go back to the material as a refresher as needed
-
Learning is
sustained - companies can keep their diversity initiative fresh
and interesting for users by assigning e-learning modules over a
period of time (for example, one of our clients assigns one
course per quarter)
-
It's measurable -
pre and post tests that are imbedded provide true measures of
retention unlike traditional training where a person sitting in
a classroom does not necessarily translate into learning
-
Its anonymity
ensures higher levels of comfort in dealing with tough issues -
users tell us that they felt more comfortable being vulnerable
and exposed when dealing with their own stereotypes when they
were interacting with the computer rather than in a room full of
people that they don't know
