• Reduced costs for businesses
• More flexible training and improved interactivity
E-learning and interactivity are now possible. This was the conclusion of a presentation given on Friday, February 17th in Casablanca by the company Beast Deal(1). Around sixty HR directors (Human Resources Directors) learned about the latest developments in e-training.
This involves bringing training to learners using new technologies: internet, intranet and extranet. E-learning also has the advantage, unlike traditional training, of being able to be delivered "anywhere, anytime". At home, at the office or at an internet cafe, the learner is no longer dependent on a fixed location to attend their classes. Wherever they are, they have access to their modules, day and night, during holidays or during work. In other words, the learner trains at their own pace and according to their availability.
This ease of learning without time or location constraints allows companies to save on travel expenses (hotels, travel, etc.). Similarly, there is no need for a full-time trainer or renting a room for learning. It is also a tool in the hands of training managers in companies that allows them to measure the acquisition of know-how by their human resources.
Another advantage: improving the pedagogical approach by developing the interactivity and playful aspects of the training.
Unlike traditional training, e-learning adapts the training content to the levels and expectations as well as the objectives of the learners. Because it consists of individualized training. Another strong point: multiplying and deploying training across multiple sites. This represents an enormous cost reduction for companies with numerous subsidiaries (banks, insurance companies, multinationals...).
Logistically, the e-learning platform is a software solution that allows remote management and monitoring for the three main users: the administrator, the learner and the tutor.
The administrator (the company specializing in e-learning) registers the learners, assigns them individual training courses. They also track training time, exercises performed, skills acquired and results achieved.
The learner is the one who follows interactive training and communicates with other learners. The tutor (the HR director, for example), accompanies the learner in their learning journey and provides them with the necessary multimedia resources.
E-training is no longer limited, as it was a few years ago, to easily transferable learning such as office automation, languages and computer science. "Today, e-learning is opening up to new areas of training such as quality, environment or safety," says Mustapha El Bouri, CEO of Best Deal SARL.
Other sectors are also benefiting from these new developments, such as management and accounting.
The company Best Deal plans, initially, to limit itself to a "b to b" offer, and later extend it to individuals. And it is cities like Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat that are targeted by this e-learning professional.
