What is Web-Based Learning?
Simply put, web-based learning is any instruction or education
via the web (Internet). To take web-based training, all you
need is:
The cost savings of taking courses on-line versus
in person is tremendous. That is where we come in. We have taken
our 20 years of training experience and incorporated it into
the best of on-demand web-based learning.
History of E-Learning
The training industry started with in-person training that was
delivered to a group of students at the same time. This training
normally involved travel expenses and long stays out of the
office (usually 1-3 days). From the late 1980’s to mid
1990’s, people either started using the phone to conduct
training, created videos or used Computer Based Training (CBT’s)
that were generally distributed on CD’s or as a software
you loaded on your computer.
Technology has moved us to the next level. Many companies have
saved thousands of dollars using e-learning as a strategic part
of their current training programs. With high connection speeds
and easier access to the Internet, technology now allows streaming
video and audio to web-based modules in order to enhance the
learning experience and increase retention of information.
