Why e-Learning? - Part 2
By Renée Eaton

Last issue, we discussed how e-learning can ease time and budget constraints for companies when it comes to training. However, its ability to alleviate constraints isn't e-learning's only benefit. It is also an effective way to train employees.

Due to differing learning styles, the very nature of e-learning makes it an ideal way to educate. Its emphasis on multimedia allows it to satisfy the learning needs of different individuals.

Most people favour a particular method of interacting with, taking in and processing information. Auditory, visual and kinesthetic are three main styles. Because e-learning often incorporates audio, video, graphics and interactive elements, it makes a superior vehicle for comprehension. It also allows learners to be free to direct themselves and learn at their own speed, opening the doors for increased retention.

Learning situations can cause adults to be anxious and nervous, e-learning has the capability to distill these feelings and make it a more enjoyable experience.
