Key advantages of online learning are
flexibility, convenience and the ability to work at any place
where an internet connection is available and at one’s
own pace. E-classes are asynchronous which allows learners
to participate and complete coursework in accordance with
their daily commitments. This makes an E-learning education
a viable option for those that have other commitments such
as family or work or cannot participate easily e.g. depending
on a disablility. There are also transportation cost (and
time) benefits with not having to commute to and from campus.
The cost benefits of E-learning to large corporate organizations
are difficult to ignore. When using E-learning to train users
of corporate computer systems, normally achieved by way of
simulation-based learning content, the learner finds himself
in a software environment that is exactly like the real one
but which does not carry the same error risk. Unlike classroom
training, users may repeat the E-learning course without duplicating
the cost. It is commonly accepted that the initial cost of
an E-learning implementation is expensive (once-off development
cost), but that the cost of training (per user) goes down
exponentially as more learners use the E-learning course material.
