Leanforward – eLearning Solutions
LeanForward, a custom elearning development company, did all the research for this infographic. I for one am simply amazed at how much time and money goes into elearning. I personally have always felt that it is easier for me to learn if I have someone I can ask questions, and interact with .
I understand that even e-learning courses offer online chat rooms so you can interact with other classmates, and to ask questions and clarify any problems you may have. I prefer having a flesh-and-blood person to interact with but I have considered e-learning courses. At the moment I am following an online e-learning photography course so I can learn how to use my new Cannon Rebel camera. While the classes are well thought out, and easy to follow, it doesn't replace having a human to talk to. I like e-learning courses that offer a phone number so you can call and talk to someone real.
While I do believe that e-learning courses are a valuable learning tool, I believe they are more valuable if they have an option for students to interact with each other, or a teacher. The greatest advantage is that E-learning courses are forever. Their content never changes so you are guaranteed to learn the same material as the last student that used the course. Instructor led training changes. The instructor can focus on what the class as a whole needs, as well as the needs of each individual student. I don't feel e-learning can do this.
I guess, I feel like it depends on the student as to which would be a better path to follow. Each person is different, as are the methods.
