Eliminate wasted time and money.
With traditional training, the more people being trained and the more geographically dispersed they are, the greater the training costs. Often, the money isn’t even spent on the actual training; it goes toward airfare, lodging, meals and refreshments, conference room rental, and the like. With e-Learning, the cost stays the same whether you’re training 100 people or 1,000 people, and 100% of your training dollar actually goes toward training.
Condense training.
Traditional training attendees have to wade through a lot of “verbal garbage” – salutations and
introductions, irrelevant questions from participants, information about the location of restroom and
refreshments, “ums” and “ahs,” and a few rabbit chases. In fact, when we edit out all of the “verbal
garbage” and convert a full-day conference into multimedia format, we usually end up with only 3 or
4 hours of actual training. This means for a single 12-person class that last 2 days, a company could
be saving 120 man hours by putting the class online.
Make new hires productive How often are new hires burning time waiting for more instruction on their duties and responsibilities? Take advantage of day one by allowing them to train on all the basics. E-Learning allows you to easily prepare them for success.
Keep employees productive.
With e-Learning, employees can receive training anytime and anywhere, whether filling gaps between meetings, sitting at home tending to their sick child, waiting to board a plane, or even flying cross country. Training can happen during down-time instead of being forced when it is not conducive to productivity. For sales training this is especially important, every time you take a salesperson out of the field for training, you lose out on sales. E-Learning fits into everyone’s schedule and makes the most of everyone’s time.
Pick up the pace.
Some people pick up concepts faster than others, and a lot of people waste time sitting through training sessions that are either not applicable to them or covering subjects they have already mastered. E-Learning allows each person to learn at his or her own pace, and focus on what matters most to them
Improve Consistency & Effectiveness When the same training session using the same curriculum is offered on multiple occasions, the delivery will not be consistent. With e-Learning, you can be sure that all of your trainees are getting the same message every time the information is presented. This is helpful in legal situations where you have to prove what concepts were covered in your training.
Train EVERYONE.
What are the chances of getting every employee in your organization in a single room at the same time for a training session? Nearly impossible even when a training conference is effective, what about those individuals who could not attend? Bring the conference to EVERYONE by capturing it in a dynamic multimedia format. We have solutions that can quickly put all the important content online in a format that people can access from low or high bandwidth connections.
Evaluate learning retention.
E-Learning provides opportunities for measuring employee understanding and retention of key points. You can pre-test your audience easily to see what training is actually needed. Then you can follow up training with a post test that measures exactly what they have learned.
Address multi-lingual needs.
Left Brain Media’s e-Learning solution includes a closed captioning feature, which is a transcript of the audio track. This transcript can be in any language you need to support a bi-lingual audience. Of course, any material may be fully produced in multiple languages.
Provide risk-free simulations
On-the-job training is effective, but there are some areas where you don't want to have to make the mistake in order to learn from it. E-Learning simulations can help you train employees how to avoid common pitfalls by letting them learn from their mistakes in a virtual setting.
