To say that eLearning is important to the corporate world is a massive understatement. It would be more accurate to claim that eLearning, or online learning, is absolutely indispensable to all kinds of companies and organizations. There are countless reasons for this. The primary reason, as research is showing us, is that eLearning saves money. “e-Learning saves businesses at least 50% when they replace traditional instructor-based training with e-Learning,” wrote Christopher Pappas in Top 10 eLearning Statistics for 2014 You Need to Know. He also claimed that online learning reduced instruction time by up to 60 percent. This means that a 60-minute training session delivered traditionally (in a classroom setting) could be conveyed in a mere 24 minutes. As one might imagine, this could make an enormous difference in the amount of information that a learner ultimately retains. In addition to saving companies money and reducing instruction time for employee training, online learning keeps employees engaged in training and promotes collaboration, among other benefits.
