Online training is useful for a number of reasons: - Participants can attend a course at anytime from anywhere and update themselves with course material at any point down the track.
- Training is self paced to suit the learning style of the student.
- Interactivity is enhanced as all students participate, not only the most vocal or knowledgeable.
- The internet is a rich environment that can simulate 'learning by doing' safely, and can incorporate activities, games and videos very easily for an active learning approach.
- Online training is cheaper than traditional classroom based teaching making it more accessible and affordable.
- Online training modules are developed very quickly to allow fast roll out of new concepts, changes in Government legislation and updated knowledge bases.
- Online training automates the reporting and marking process and streamlines workflows for learning managers. Reports can be tailored to suit organisational specific requirements and are generated automatically.
- Exposure to technology for learning increases familiarity and skill with technology in the workplace.
- Online training is better for the environment - the larger the training group size, the more environmentally friendly.
