The rocket is sent into space for various reasons: to explore a new planet, to launch a satellite into orbit, or, for example, to deliver useful cargo to astronauts. There is always a goal. The same goes for e-learning – there is no point in implementing it simply because it is fashionable.
If you have opened this article, then you already know why your company needs online training. If not, a little advice: the goal is easier to find, pushing away from the “pain point”. What task do you hope to solve with eLearning?
For example, Skyeng needs to quickly train 120 new employees to teach English online and work on Vimbox. Now, with the help of eLearning, the company prepares 200 pros a month.
MW-LIGHT manufactures and sells decorative luminaires worldwide. The range includes 300 collections, each with 10 to 100 models. At the same time for the year the range is updated by 35%. It was difficult for sellers to remember the features of each model. Sometimes the sale failed simply because the employee could not competently tell about the novelty.
MW-LIGHT has set a goal: to increase customer loyalty in six months by training sellers of the company’s products. Now for each collection there are electronic courses for employees. The result: the number of grateful buyers has doubled, as has the number of successful deals.
How are spaceships arranged? Experienced rocket builders will answer something like this: “Each rocket has a different design. It all depends on the task. ” For example, the American “Shuttle” includes launch accelerators, a fuel tank and an orbital spacecraft. This is enough to reach a low Earth orbit. But you can’t get to Mars – you will need other components.
The eLearning arsenal also directly depends on the goals. As a rule, for distance learning companies use one of three types of tools or the whole set at once:
webinars;
knowledge management system;
designer of electronic courses.
Let’s look at each of them in detail.
