Use E-Learning to Reduce Training Travel Costs

In this article author shows us an easy way to reduce training travel costs and stresses how important and useful e-learning can be.

When it goes to cutting cost many companies sacrifice their training budgets. Yes, they save money but sometimes they don’t realize how negative impact it can have on their employees. The company workers who don’t know exactly how they should use required software make lots of mistakes, their work colleagues don’t always have time to help them and what is more they are unable to work efficiently. 

A very common way of software training are simulation application. You can easily create a simulation which shows how to solve common problems or reach certain goal. You simply record actions you do on the screen and edit it with authoring tool. Recently, Gartner reported that there are many applications that include e-learning tools for example Rave system for electronic clinical data capture, management and reporting. In this implementation you have many training courses as well as the possibility to print certificate for your records.

In the last paragraph author concludes that there are a lot of different learning options and each company should choose it wisely having in mind the fact that there are some courses which require collaboration and face-to-face interaction.
