An offshoot of rapid development in information and communications technology (ICT), eLearning brings education and training to the doorsteps of learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a great way to learn anything, anytime, anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about some sort of online content that you may have consumed from a website or YouTube recently. It can change the way you look at learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With the advent of eLearning, the demand for online courses is also on the rise.

Here are 11 of them:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Anytime, Anywhere Learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advancement in educational technology has enabled learners to access and educators to share knowledge and information like never before. One of the major impediments to traditional classroom-based learning is scheduling the class timings so that it works for all learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eLearning does away with this, as instructors can easily <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create online courses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and allow learners to access the courses via the Internet 24\/7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, a<\/span><b> <\/b><b>learning management system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or<\/span><b> LMS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> proves handy. This tool lets learners join online sessions whenever they want and from wherever they are without upsetting their daily schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: How Florida Auto Dealer School Found an Excellent Alternative to In-Person Training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1_FoMor7FTY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>2. Interactive Learning Experiences<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upi.com\/Science_News\/2017\/03\/21\/Study-Students-inspired-by-peers-more-than-teachers\/7651490125585\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proven<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that learners learn best in the midst of their peers. Interactive learning experience or social learning is commonly found in groups and teams. For example, a group of students or employees working on a group project tends to put their minds together and work collaboratively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, it\u2019s impossible to acquire interaction skills simply by watching videos or reading books. It requires the active participation of learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people hesitate to interact face-to-face, which can be a weakness. eLearning provides a great platform to interact with people and helps them cope with shyness and social anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Better Knowledge Retention<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to just 8% to 10% in offline training, eLearning increases knowledge retention rates by up to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/paycom\/2017\/02\/14\/learning-management-systems-101-rethinking-your-approach-to-employee-training\/?sh=477c2f7e755b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is because online learning uses a number of reinforcement techniques, such as gamification, microlearning, and spaced repetition, to help learners learn in the most optimized way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This maximizes learner retention and leads to better learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every individual is unique and has different learning capabilities. Some people like to study through reading notes, while some are more comfortable watching videos. Some people are slow learners, while some pick up quite fast. Understanding this is the key to successful learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a traditional learning environment, the instructor gives instructions to everyone at the same pace. However, eLearning allows learners to access study material multiple times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if a learner does not understand something, they can revisit it as many times as they need and present their doubts to the instructor. This increases their learning abilities and retention rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the effective techniques that help in knowledge retention are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/micro-learning-can-improve-business\/\"><b>Microlearning<\/b><\/a><b>: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bite-sized videos, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online training<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tutorials (how-to articles, stepwise guides), and podcasts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Gamification: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game mechanics, such as points, levels, timers, badges, and leaderboards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Learner-generated content: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting learners to create or regenerate content based on what they\u2019ve learned in the form of presentations, social media posts, and more so that they can recall the information<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Visual summaries: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These can be in the form of graphics, charts (based on data on any topic), infographics, and mind maps<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>4. Lower Training Costs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since all the learning happens through the Internet, companies do not have to set up dedicated classrooms to hold training sessions for their employees. Most <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/best-online-training-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online training software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> solutions provide a virtual classroom to organize online employee training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, learners don\u2019t have to travel to attend a class or training session. This helps them save up on lodging and transportation costs. This may very well be one of the biggest advantages of substituting eLearning for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">classroom training.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, there is no paperwork and other associated expenses, which substantially brings down the learning cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Caters to People of All Experiences and Ages<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the <\/span><b>advantages of eLearning in education <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/solutions\/corporate-training-software\/\">corporate training<\/a>, this one is significant. Web-based learning is egalitarian by nature. It is open to people of all ages and experience levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learners can simply access <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online courses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, tests, or video tutorials to learn a new skill or advance their career. There are generally no enrollment deadlines or restrictions on term times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eLearning materials remain online 24\/7 and learners can attend classes or take courses in their free time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes it one of the top advantages of online education and training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Instant Feedback and Results<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eLearning software tools provide instructors with features, such as automated grading, advanced reports, learner tracking, online assessment, certification, and many more. These features help instructors expedite the grading and certification process as well as provide detailed and instant feedback to their learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This feature is time-saving and extremely important since all learning &amp; development activities, whether in business or educational centers, are outcome-based and ought to be measurable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way e-Learning helps is in getting instant feedback from learners. Some of the best learning management systems available today offer <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survey tools<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>Instructors can add survey forms to courses, lessons, and tests to gather feedback from participants, for example, on the quality of the content.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on such responses, course creators and instructional designers can work toward improving the eLearning material. All of this can help make teaching more engaging and effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Up-to-Date Content<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online courses keep changing according to the learning &amp; development trends. Online platforms such as a <\/span><b>SaaS LMS<\/b><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make it super easy to update courses. <\/span><b>Instructors can import existing content or leverage a library of customizable courses and templates that some vendors provide.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eLearning software<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lets instructors create e-courses by importing web content or using familiar formats or programs such as Word, PowerPoint, and PDF. You can also take full advantage of YouTube videos, blog posts, wikis, or any web pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The course content can be easily updated by uploading new ones anytime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Comprehensive Learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the advantages of eLearning systems is that the learning experiences are comprehensive and rich as teachers and trainers can use different teaching aids, to help their learners assimilate and retain information better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, eLearning platforms let instructors <\/span><b>upload different kinds of learning materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as infographics, slide-shares, docs, videos, and MP3. This gives learners the freedom to choose what mode of learning suits them best.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, the software provides many <\/span><b>helpful features, such as the save and resume feature<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which enables learners to set their own pace of learning and assimilate information better.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>9. Flexibility<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many learners, especially working professionals or adult learners, have busy schedules. Attending a college or university is simply out of the question with a full-time job on hand. It\u2019s very practical for them to enroll themselves in a particular course, either for personal or professional growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eLearning can address the needs of this category of learners. Its flexibility enables learners to take classes at any time of the day. This, in turn, helps people who want to focus on both their career and education.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Moving With the Times<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the growth of new technologies, such as cloud computing, Web 2.0, and the surge in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, eLearning has taken up new dimensions. Today, most learners prefer to access information from their smartphones and social media sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In such a scenario, eLearning software helps instructors keep pace with the changes in technologies. They can create a course that learners can access from their smartphones or other mobile devices with stable Internet connectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instructors can also engage learners in social learning by sharing courses and tests on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11. Lower Environmental Impact<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is an acknowledged fact that Internet-based learning is eco-friendly and sustainable. Instructors deliver training or education via computers and mobile devices, and there is least or no requirement for paperwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No printouts, no notepads, no files, and no folders required. Everything you and your learners need is available in an electronic form. So, say goodbye to papers and welcome learning devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Types_of_eLearning_Platforms\"><\/span><b>6 Types of eLearning Platforms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are six common <\/span><b>eLearning delivery platforms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that many online tutors, independent teachers, educational institutions, and corporate trainers rely on to teach or train people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Virtual Classroom Software<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/ProProfs-Virtual-Classroom-Software.png\" alt=\"ProProfs Virtual Classroom Software\" width=\"512\" height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most popular on the list, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/best-virtual-classroom-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual classroom software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an online learning environment that you can use to add learners, centrally assign them courses, lessons, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tests<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, track progress, and view reports &#8211; using a single dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual classrooms are significant because they are built upon the belief that not every learner learns the same thing the same way. Having them sit in a regular classroom for hours on end is not an effective approach for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A virtual classroom empowers learners to master different concepts and topics on their own terms, from wherever they are, and by using devices of their choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Video Streaming<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of videos, either embedded in a course or shared in a video-sharing platform such as YouTube, is a common practice today. A course remains incomplete without a video lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such a medium is not only engaging but also helpful in breaking down complex topics for learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learners can pause, resume, rewind, and skip videos to learn in the best possible way. Videos also form a key element in blended learning. They bring learning to life and reduce cognitive load.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Webinars<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an instructor-led virtual learning system, webinars offer an interactive and fun way to deliver training and workshops online. You can reach out to a large audience simultaneously and set up a collaborative learning environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live presentations, screen sharing, whiteboards, and virtual meet-ups are some of the activities you can engage in through webinars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webinars can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/courses\/business-conversation-skills-training\/\">develop business communication skills<\/a>\u00a0and teamwork in learners. The best part is that these sessions take place in real-time and participants don\u2019t have to be in the same location to attend them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Podcasts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Podcasts are downloadable and often serialized audio files that can assist learners during online training. Their inexpensive, portable, and quick nature allows learners to access them anytime, from anywhere, effortlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While enabling instructors to broadcast audio content easily to audiences around the world, podcasts let learners develop their listening skills even as they learn different topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learners don\u2019t miss anything with recorded podcasts even if they fail to attend a class or training session.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Discussion Boards<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online discussion boards have become an essential element in all eLearning environments. They provide a level playing field for every participant to voice their opinion. They even encourage shy learners to pitch in and learn from their peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social presence, a sense of community, and emotional connections are some of the benefits learners get by coming together on an online discussion board.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Forums<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like discussion boards, forums form a regular part of online training and learning. They facilitate interactions between learners as well as instructors and learners by providing a common space for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a powerful platform, they add a new dimension to learning &amp; development. A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q&amp;A-based online forum<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an example that takes learners beyond bookish learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can build an online community through forums, keep information well-organized and easily searchable, and let learners collaborate anytime, anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a fair understanding of the different ways eLearning helps, it is only fair that you\u2019ll be curious to know about a good LMS that can help you realize these benefits and more.
