Benefits to the Organization
Our world today is driven by change and the need for fast access to information. Employers are faced with the need to quickly develop and deliver new products, utilizing teams of globally dispersed employees. At the same time they are dealing with internal and external pressure from fast-paced technology changes, and the expectation to remain competitive.
E-Learning is quickly becoming the answer for companies. It gives you the ability to reach anyone and everyone in your organization or business. It is an excellent way to develop new skills, keep current with new technology, or launch new initiatives. You can target specific areas of your business plan and tailor course offerings to your existing programs.
High-quality e-Learning courses, such as those developed by Sabre’s professional staff, provide many benefits to businesses and organizations over traditional Instructor Led Training (ILT), including:
- Reduced cost and rapid return on investment. This is one of the biggest factors considered when implementing an e-Learning solution. Many organizations have found that by utilizing e-Learning, they can reduce the number of instructors on staff, reduce travel costs, and reduce staff time away from the office.
- Easy access. Almost any computer today is or can be equipped with a browser to access the Internet or a private Intranet to deliver a course.
- Corporate knowledge. Capture the knowledge and experience of your organization that is not written in your existing processes.
- Continuity. New users get the right training when and where it's needed.
- Consistency. Every person, regardless of location, gets the same training.
- Flexibility. Instructional content can be centrally managed from one location.
- Timeliness. Instructional material can be quickly updated as needed. When a user logs into the training, he/she is automatically getting updated material.
- Faster implementation of new processes. When your business process changes, e-Learning can jumpstart the new process by making new information readily available to all users.
- Proof of completion. Provide proof of completion to both users and management.
Benefits to the User
- Availability. Users can complete the training when it is convenient, either at work, home, or during travel.
- Flexibility. Learn for 15 minutes or 5 hours at a time. Take the whole course or portions to refresh your knowledge.
- Self-paced. Users can proceed at their own pace. There is no pressure to get through material by a certain time. This reduces stress and increases user satisfaction.
- Interactive. Within a defined framework, users can easily navigate to get to the material they need to review. Linked material allows the user to delve deeper into a topic if needed.
The use of audio and video can create compelling metaphors, realistic job simulations, and accommodate different learning styles.
