‘eLearning’ is an abbreviation for ‘electronic learning’, and this means using a computer to deliver part, or all of a course – whether it's in a school, part of your mandatory training or a full distance-learning course. eLearning courses are available 24 hours, 7 days a week, and give the individual full responsibility for studying and deciding his or her pace. The benefits of using eLearning are that the learner:
- can learn from anywhere;
- only needs an electronic device and an internet access;
- limits travel costs;
- saves time;
- may pick and choose what is really important;
- can pursue flexible training;
- benefits from games, audio and video elements.
