Promotion of e-learning

The history of e-learning dates back to the 1990s. At that time, PCs were something special that only a few users used, such as those who needed them for work or research, or those who were familiar with computers. At the time, PC-based learning systems were all very expensive and difficult to get into, but with the development of IT technology and the spread of networks, prices have dropped significantly, and the environment has changed to one where anyone can easily enter.

As a result."Anytime, Anywhere, EasilyThere is a growing interest and expectation in e-learning. The high affinity between spontaneous and sustained learning and training content and learning methods using electronic devices such as PCs, smartphones and tablets has led to widespread attention and use in a variety of fields.

eLearning in the Business World

Unlike conventional distance learning, which is conducted by sending learning materials by post, e-learning allows students to learn on their own, and to prepare and review as many times as they want according to their own learning status. e-learning By educating a large number of learners at once through a learning system, it is possible to reduce the burden on teachers and labor costs.Significant reduction in education costsWe have also realized the

Attracted by the e-learning learning system's ability to provide equal learning opportunities and its effectiveness in reducing labor costs, managers and corporate HR staff have actively adopted e-learning as a new form of learning alternative to group training (group education).

E-learning continues to grow in effectiveness in business settings

In the early days of Internet-based e-learning in business, most companies installed learning management systems (LMS) for e-learning on their own servers and had system administrators manage them (on-premise systems). However, because it requires product knowledge of usage and maintenance methods, as well as advanced management skills, it has become a significant burden for companies, and has only been used by large companies that can secure personnel with strong system management skills and expect high implementation effectiveness. However, with the increase in the amount of data that can be sent and received over the network, this situation has changed dramatically.

Instead of storing the system and data in a server installed in the company, the company that developed the e-learning learning management system acts as the operating company and uses a shared server to update the system and manage the data. The hurdle to introducing e-learning in small and medium-sized companies has been lowered significantly.

Advantages of e-learning for corporate training

The introduction of e-learning can significantly change the learning environment within a company. By maximizing the functionality of the eLearning learning system, both the employee as the learner and the company as the provider will be able to realize many benefits.

Let's sort out the benefits on the learner side
In order to create and maintain a learning environment where employees want to learn, providers need to understand the benefits that e-learning can provide to learners.

You can study at your own convenience.
The date, time, and location of a training program are usually set in detail because it requires preparation of instructors and training locations. However, employees who are too busy with their day-to-day work to make adjustments to their work schedule can't easily apply for training to check their understanding of their work content or to further improve their skills. E-learning, on the other hand, allows employees to learn at their own pace by utilizing the little time they have between jobs or in their leisure time.The ability to learn anytime, anywhere is one of the greatest benefits of e-learning for learners.

Can be used as a business manual
E-learning is not only good for reviewing and improving skills. By organizing a variety of business-related information and know-how in an easy-to-understand manner, and making it available as data that can be freely viewed by all employees, we are able to offer a wide range of services to our customers.Able to solve questions and issues that arise within work and study on their ownThis is a great way to get to know each other. In addition, by sharing problems that cannot be solved by individual efforts alone through information exchange tools such as bulletin boards and chats, you can get clues to solve problems and gain collaborators to help you solve them.

▼Easy to evaluate training
Self-analysis is an essential part of learning and growth. However, evaluating one's own learning requires a certain amount of preparation and procedures, making it difficult to continue. However, with an e-learning system that can record learning history, learning results and progress can be visualized in graphs and numbers, greatly reducing the burden of self-evaluation of learning content. By understanding your strengths and weaknesses, and not just checking your drill and quiz scoresLearning efficiency increases significantly, and the motivation of learners who experience the effects of learning increases even more.I'm sure it is.

▼ Relieve your worries and concerns about your business
In group training, there are few opportunities to receive personal guidance and advice from the instructor, so a reluctant participant may not be able to properly assess their own level of understanding and achievement, and may return to work without being able to resolve any questions that may have arisen during the training. However, in such a situation, they will not be able to start their work with confidence, which may lead to a decrease in work efficiency and loss of confidence. In contrast, e-learning makes it easy to provide individual attention, so learners can feel free to ask any questions they may have. Appropriate feedback provided by an instructor who fully understands the importance ofIncrease learners' security and confidence in their understanding, improving their motivation to learn and the quality of their workI'm going to make it happen.

Summary

In this article, we have briefly discussed the background of e-learning in corporate training and its benefits in corporate training."Anytime, Anybody, Easy.It seems that the catch phrase of "I want to learn more" will be a catch phrase that will be increasingly needed in the future. It seems that the expansion of the entrance to learning will provide new hints that will be useful for learning, education, and teaching methods that have been difficult to implement until now. I would like to follow the development, activities, and trends of e-learning in the future and report again as needed. Thank you very much for your attention.
