Elearning Solutions

Elearning solutions have always been available for use. But some companies do not like it. Why is this? Aren’t elearning solutions advantageous since it is a very cheap alternative to trainers in a classroom set up?

Our company has been one of those companies that did not trust in elearning. This is easy to explain. The reason was because my boss is an old fogey. He did not trust that much in technology. But of course as the boss of a company, he has long been acquainted with much of technology. He knows how to use a personal computer and surf the net through his smart phone just like any other bloke. But the fact was that he still has some deep seated biases against the technological age, and this reflects in his preferences. For example, when looking at applicants for the company, the boss does not credit online courses as any proof of skill in the resume. He still prefers those who have enrolled and finished courses in the traditional classroom setting. This is true even if the courses are about information technology.

So that is why we still do not use elearning solutions even for our internal company purposes such as for employee development. But people keep trying to convince him that really, elearning is the future. Thank goodness that the recession came. It seems he is now about to have no other choice, especially after hearing about the news that several prominent institutions that offered IT courses in the classroom setting had to close down because they were not cost effective and the recession was getting to them.

So now, after a couple of months, it seems that our company is finally going to enter the modern age. We have no other real recourse really. It was either we adapted by using elearning solutions or we succumb to a slow and painful descent to destruction by not being able to compete.
