Transforming Instructor-Led Training to E-Learning: An Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Instructor-led training, or ILT, is the traditional method of delivering training. E-learning provides an alternative that delivers substantial benefits, including in relation to costs and the quality of training you deliver to your team.<\/p>\n

Making the transition from ILT to e-learning can be a daunting prospect. When should you start? Where do you start? What approach should you take?<\/p>\n

The Benefits of E-Learning Can\u2019t Be Ignored<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s start at the beginning: why should you consider transforming ILT to e-learning? There are many benefits, so we\u2019ve focused on five of the most important.<\/p>\n

    \n

    E-Learning Reduces Training Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ILT can be considerably costly to deliver. It can involve travel by the trainer, the learners, or both. That travel can even include accommodation in some situations, as well as meals and other expenses.<\/p>\n

    Then there is the time taken out of the working week and the lost productivity this causes. As you can see, the costs can mount up.<\/p>\n

    With e-learning, many of these costs are either reduced or eliminated.<\/p>\n

      E-Learning Increases Return on Investment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Training isn\u2019t just a cost to your business, though. It is an investment. That investment should make a return, and, in general, you will get a better return from e-learning than from ILT.<\/p>\n

      Return on investment is better with e-learning because of the cost savings mentioned in the previous point. Good e-learning courses also deliver better results, which also helps to improve returns.<\/p>\n

        E-Learning Delivers a Better Learner Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        There are many reasons why learners become frustrated with training, including when they think it is not relevant or where they believe the training is taking up time they don\u2019t have to spare.<\/p>\n

        You can mitigate many of these concerns and frustrations by using e-learning as the content delivery method. Also, by using various types of media as well as gamification and social elements, you can make e-learning more fun and interactive than ILT.<\/p>\n

          Using E-Learning Makes it Possible to Implement Various Training Strategies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Effective training isn\u2019t just about presenting learners with information in the hope they retain it. Instead, you need to collate and present the information in a way that facilitates learning. You can do this using various strategies that fit perfectly with e-learning, including microlearning, just-in-time learning, and blended learning.<\/p>\n

            \n

            E-Learning Will Provide You with Better Training Data<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            As e-learning is delivered through software, you can run reports that will give you objective information on the progress of learners, the performance of your training strategy, and areas for improvement.<\/p>\n

            It\u2019s Not an All or Nothing Situation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            Organisations generally don\u2019t attempt to completely transform all ILT into e-learning in one go. The more common approach is to transform various elements of your training into e-learning courses or modules<\/a>. Typically, this is considerably more than half, but some ILT training elements still remain.<\/p>\n

            In other words, transforming to an e-learning-based training model doesn\u2019t mean abandoning ILT altogether<\/a>. Where it makes sense, keep ILT. Where the content and training can be improved, shift it to e-learning.<\/p>\n

            Signs You Should Begin Transforming ILT to E-Learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            You can transform ILT to e-learning at any time, although there are some critical points in the development and implementation of your training strategy where you can take full advantage of the opportunities<\/a>.<\/p>\n
