IT’S EXPENSIVEInstructor, travel and material
costs are quick to add up.
85 cents of every dollar is tied up in delivery of information.7
IT’S OUTDATEDIn-person training works for companies with
few locations and simple job tasks...
everything the modern workplace is not.
IT’S INEFFICIENTThe average content retention rate
for an instructor-led class is only 58%.8
IT’S UNDESIRABLEWorkers—especially younger workers
—are accustomed to consuming knowledge how they want it
and when they want it.
Sensing this dramatic shift, more companies are turning
to eLearning.

ENGAGING & MEMORABLEResponsive learning modules, rich-media and
interactive simulations compel learners to take action and leave a lasting impression.
PERSONALeLearning must address the uniqueness of every
employee’s situation, including where they’re located and what job skills they already know well.
ACCESSIBLEEmployees should be able to increase their knowledge
whenever they want, wherever they want and on whatever device they want.
COLLABORATIVE39% of employees worldwide say people in their
organization don’t collaborate enough.11 eLearning must allow employees to share
knowledge and learn from each other.
MEASURABLEQuizzes and assessments should gauge learners’
understanding. Custom reports should assess a program’s effectiveness.
SUPPORTIVELearning doesn’t stop when training ends. Digital assets that highlight critical tasks or processes learned in training
should be available on the job.
See if Your eLearning is Up to Par...
Make training resonate for today’s & tomorrow’s workers.
