Exactly, due to the individual pace, means of information perception, remembering and further assimilation, e-Learning platforms offer a vast variety of learning materials and programs.
Some people feel comfortable to learn while commuting to and from their office, in transport, or while waiting in a queu, using only their tablet, but there are people which hate loudy places and cannot concentrate, let alone learn something. They prefer calm working atmosphere and few productive hours in front of a personal computer.
Coaching
Coaching works for large companies as a basis for learning. Therefore, it is applicable to e-Learning as well. Online platforms with a lot of theoretical stuff are good, of course, but live mentor can direct the employee in the right direction among these tones of theory without proper practice and workshops. Learning insights from the experienced people and reinforcing personal skills are very essential in mentoring. However, live mentors can often be biased, especially in grading, so in this aspect e-Learning platforms are beneficial, since they provide computerized checking and grading of results.
Why Does It Work So Well?
E-Learning platforms have already been tested by the biggest corporations, such as Google, Facebook, etc. Due to the Big Data collected from personal accounts and like/share history, Google can target the right ad and get less generic results. Siri, the Google assistant application, is learning to answer your questions in a more concise and correct manner, again due to the Big Data.
