E-Learning, as it is often called, is distance learning. And distance learning comes with a powerful
value proposition. E-Learning saves money for the same learning outcomes as instructor led training in
the following ways:
- It provides dramatic savings over logistics and time-away-from-work costs. Travel expenses and travel
time are eliminated. Instructional time (the time required to acquire knowledge) is reduced from one-half
to one-quarter of the time required in a classroom for the same learning outcomes.
- The training is available anywhere and anytime that people can access the Internet or the company
intranet. You can offer training for completion at home because the results from tests are automatically
tracked, recorded and reported.
- The company can demonstrate organizational compliance with completely automated tracking and reporting.
Learners have electronic transcripts as proof of their professional development achievements.
- No expensive technology is required because employees have already received all the system training
needed simply by using the Internet a single time.
- Large volume training can be accomplished quickly because it can be done simultaneously by many users
- at a fraction of the cost and logistics effort required to bring in instructors.
There are obstacles however. Most of them relate to cost and unfamiliarity with Internet technology. The
following analysis puts the problem in a larger perspective. This was an industry pundit's report about
McGraw-Hill's Lifetime Learning Company, which recently went out of business. "Until the e-learning
industry learns to produce affordable solutions, this kind of thing will continue. It is time to stop
listening only to the visionaries and let pragmatism dominate this industry. We've got to dump the dot.com
mentality." MindsOnFire has eliminated both special skill and cost obstacles.
MindsOnFire is the comprehensive yet affordable solution to e-Learning.
