Why are so many companies including e-Learning in their training solution? E-Learning has a number of unique characteristics that make it a superior choice to meet certain business objectives:

• Consistent – Unlike instructor-led training, the content and delivery of e-Learning does not vary by trainer or event. This is important for both skills training and proprietary training when the uniformity of message and delivery is critical to keep everyone on the same page.
• Flexible – e-Learning may be rolled-out to people in multiple geographies simultaneously. There is less concern about tying training schedules to employee schedules because courses are available 24x7. And courses remain available after they are rolled-out, to be used for reference and reinforcement.
• Cost Effective – e-Learning reduces the total cost of training – including travel cost and the financial impact from lost productivity during training events. There will always be costs associated with the development of training materials regardless of modality, but the costs to deliver online training courses to large numbers of people are diminished by e-Learning and its enabling technologies.
