Viva Books, 2009. First edition. Softcover. New. Do you want to plan, design or implement a training programme involving electronic learning? If the answer is ‘Yes’ then read this book. It will save your time, effort, money... Or all three! Most companies recognize the need for their staff to be constantly increasing their skills to stay ahead in today’s frantic marketplace. Customer expectations are steadily increasing, with the resulting pressure on training budgets to achieve ‘more for less’ – greater skill levels for less cost. For years people have been experimenting with computers as a training tool. Earlier trials with computer-based training and interactive video discs showed the potential of the medium – but the technology wasn’t sophisticated enough. That’s now changed–modern computers and their associated networks, coupled with intranets and the internet, mean that e-learning can now take its place as a serious contender in the training armory. E-learning has many benefits which can directly improve the competitive advantage of your company: • It allows staff to acquire new skills when they need them, instead of waiting for the next scheduled training course. • People can break the learning into ‘chunks’ to fit in better with the demands and time-pressures of their own job. • The time required to learn the underlying theory is reduced to a minimum, reflecting the reality that people learn at different speeds and many already have varying amounts of knowledge of the new topic. • As a result, non-revenue earning time is reduced, compared with traditional training courses, when the pace of learning is determined by the slowest person. • It enables the subsequent trainer-led course to focus on practising the skills, removing the need to explore underlying theories. • Trainer-led courses are thus shorter, with a corresponding reduction in all the associated costs-trainers, facilities, overnight accommodation, etc. So e-learning really does deliver ‘more for less’ - greater skills levels with reduced costs. For people to learn effectively with e-learning they need to experience three stages of learning: • Grasp the Theory. They undertake a self-study e-learning course, supported by other learning resources, for example, books or videos. • Practise the Skills. Learners come together with colleagues to practise their skills in a short, intensive trainer-led course. • Apply the learning. They apply all the learning to reach new levels of business performance, supported by on-line coaching. They report will show you how you can design and manage each of these key stages.
