Why Choose E-learning?

In the 21st century, people need to learn more than ever. For large companies and SMEs, traditional training has become cumbersome and expensive. Even if employees had the time to attend all the courses, seminars, and training to stay up-to-date in their field, the cost of such learning remains prohibitive for the company. With the advent of new technologies, the way companies train their employees must now shift to a more modern, efficient, and flexible alternative: E-learning.

What is E-learning?
E-learning uses new multimedia technologies of the Internet to improve the quality of learning by facilitating learners' access to resources and services as well as distance exchanges and collaboration. As such, the advantages of e-learning are numerous:

1. Great flexibility:
employees learn where and when they want, at their own pace and according to their specific needs and those of the company.

2. Ease of access:
no need to host the solution internally, or to ensure its maintenance. A login and password are enough to connect to the provider's server via the Internet, from any computer.

3. No more organizational constraints:
your employees need to develop new skills or update their knowledge? 100 people in your company need training? Forget the almost impossible scheduling for all these groups. A few hours after deciding to offer training to employees, you have a concrete and immediate solution.

4. Time and money savings:
no more need to move employees, you schedule their training sessions where and when you want, without any additional costs.

5. Up-to-date training offer:
e-learning courses are regularly updated and follow industry news. New exercises, latest trends, new regulations: you can count on the fact that all this will be quickly processed and available thanks to an online course.

6. Content uniformity:
differences between trainers, approaches and content are erased.

7. Engaging and highly interactive learning environment:
sound and images energize learning to make it more efficient; the forum and chat allow learners to contact the trainer or other participants and learn from each other. Up to 40% more acquisition is observed.

8. Testing and practice:
knowledge validation is done using many practical exercises. Employees, as well as you, know at any time where they are, if they master the subject and if they have assimilated it. Pre- and post-evaluations linked to the modules also make it possible to measure the level of learning at the end of the training. However, traditional training should not be eliminated. The age of "multi-mode" or "blended-learning" has arrived, i.e., more balanced projects mixing e-learning, graphically finished and technically robust, with face-to-face training that focuses on sharing experience and putting it into practice.

Since 2010, this solution combining face-to-face and e-learning has been constantly progressing in companies, partly due to the arrival of the "Generation Y" which has forced companies to build increasingly personalized courses, due to the war for talent, and on the other hand, the growing internationalization of companies has led to the need to develop increasingly global training solutions in order to train all employees in a coherent and homogeneous way.

For all these reasons, the implementation of e-learning has become essential to enable companies to develop the skills of their employees and remain competitive in their field of activity in a highly competitive market. Want to learn more and get started with e-learning? Contact us now!
