E-learning involves facilitating training through electronic means like computers and the Internet. It offers many benefits like being cost-effective, allowing global access, and providing up-to-date information easily. E-learning can be synchronous, asynchronous, or embedded and includes online courses, discussions, and virtual classrooms. Learners enroll in e-learning modules and complete assessments to move through the modules, which require minimal computer skills. E-learning has lower costs than other training methods since learners can access it anywhere with an Internet connection using different devices. Calculating the return on investment of e-learning involves gathering data on costs of design, delivery, administration, and potential reductions from e-learning.

1. The future of training…….. Presentation by Hidayath

2. E-learning is most often defined as an approach to facilitate training by electronic means such as e-mail, computers, or the Internet.

3. New values New technologies Competitive Edge Cost Effective Globalization Abundance of information

4. Fun. Inexpensive. Can be done at any time. By any staff. Anywhere. With any skill level. Can be stopped and started easily.

5. Gives the participant a Certificate of Completion. Keeps records of training for the manager. Changes as the world changes. And provides courses for all categories of staff.

6. Synchronous Training Asynchronous Training Embedded learning Courses Discussion groups Virtual classroom

7. • An organisation has registers for E-learning. • Staff has to enrolle in E learning modules. • Staff complete the E learning modules either at work or in their own time.

8. The E-LEARNING Framework

9. • Candidate has to complete assessments at the end of each E learning module. • If they get a question wrong they are referred back to the same module. • If they get a question right they move on to the next module.

10. A well designed E learning module requires the same computer knowledge that a person require to operate an ATM.

11. • Much less than other training techniques. • Candidate can use any internet connected computer to do E learning. • They can even work using dial up connection. • So they can do it at work, at home or in an internet café!

12. Cost-Benefit analysis involves following steps to calculate the exact ROI Gathering Assumptions and Baseline Data such as Life Span of Course, Total Number of Students , Student Learning Time , Reduction in Seat Time , Burdened Compensation for Instructor , Burdened Compensation for Student .

13. Design and Development Costs Create Courseware, Train the Trainer Delivery Costs Number of ILT Sessions, Instructor Costs, Student Costs, Location Fees, Equipment Fees, Student Materials. Administration and Maintenance Costs Tracking, Technical Support, Updates to Content , Updates to Technology

14. • Less expensive than other forms of training. • Easier to schedule. • Easier for staff to complete. • Enabled us to keep better records. • And overall is a winner for us.
