eLearning hugely beneficial for business growth when done right

CANBERRA, Australia - Oct. 25, 2022 - PRLog -- Electronic learning (eLearning) describes the delivery of learning, training and development through digital means. It's not a new or radical idea, but it can be administered poorly. This can see organisations and employees miss all the unique benefits. In their latest article, the Acorn subject matter experts discuss the unique benefits of eLearning and propose an implementation plan that will see them realised.

Online learning is beneficial for organisations in three ways. Elearning software can automate tedious tasks, improving efficiency. It is easily scalable for growing businesses. And finally, it's a powerful cost-saving tool that boosts ROI.

Online learning is also beneficial for an organisation's employees too. It's easily personalised through tailored learning pathways. It's also flexible, allowing employees to complete training when and where they want to.

"In terms of automating HR processes, centralising learning data, mapping capabilities and forecasting L&D needs, only an eLearning platform will help you show definitive ROI," said Blake Proberts (Co-Founder and Managing Director). "It's not about whether or not you should be implementing eLearning, but what eLearning platform you'll use to realise those benefits."

Elearning is never a one-size-fits-all scenario, nor is it a one-off exercise. A successful implementation depends on how organisations tailor it to their end users' needs and preferences. This is where a good implementation should start.

Once the needs of employees have been determined, organisations are able to create learning objectives. Learning objectives shape what kind of learning platform will need to be selected to deliver them. The next step is to create an implementation plan. And then, if possible, it's best to run a test cohort to iron out any issues before the system goes company wide.
