...Employee Training Jeramie Simpson BUS 375 Sean O’Leary April 27, 2015 E-Learning for Training and Potential Barriers “E-learning is any technology-enhanced learning, computer-based instruction, Internet-based training, or virtual instruction. Specifically, e-learning includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video. It includes technology applications as well as local intranet/extranet, smart phone apps, and web-based learning.” (Kopp, 2014) When I was in the Air Force we used a lot of e-learning only we called them CBT’s, which is short for computer based training. E-learning can be a very useful tool because you can do it at your own pace or even in your spare time, if you have any. E-learning is not meant to be used as a be all end all of training methods but as a part of a complete training program. E-learning can be a great resource however there are barriers that must be overcome in order for it to be effective. Barriers to E-learning Every organization must have an effective training program to ensure productivity and success. In order for employees to maintain a successful training plan the employees receiving the training must have the mindset that what they are receiving is meaningful. There are many barriers to the success of e-learning and I will discuss the two that I believe are the most important which are Psychological readiness and Content readiness. I chose these simply because they...

...E-learning: A Revolution Nowadays, in our globalized world, the link that connects people to each other has become stronger due to the evolving technology: the internet. Internet plays a major role in contemporary era in many fields that have been in existence for decades, such as traditional education. Their implementation in the educational field resulted in e-learning which is also called distance learning. E-learning can be defined as computer and network enabled transfer of knowledge and skills. It includes all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching. Many people think that this new approach is outstanding and beneficial while those with traditional views believe that distance learning is poor when it comes to the quality of education. E-learning is very beneficial as it provides flexibility to people who are facing work , family and location constraints and improves learners’ effectiveness as it boosts their self confidence and engages them in the teaching learning process. To begin with, e-learning is very beneficial in improving learners’ performance. A study conducted by SRI International for the Department of Education examining 99 cases to compare online and conventional class performance, came out with shocking results. Students taking the course online ranked in the fifty ninth 59th percentile in the performance test while students in the normal classroom scored in the 50th percentile (Lohr, 2009). Moreover, distance learning enhances...

...need to new entrance; which prompted the stakeholders to search new approaches that combine the properties of both, the traditional learning and e-learning and, to overcome the deficiencies of both at the same time. The way therefore, was paved to the emergence of "Blended Learning" as a new approach blending all forms of traditional learning with the different varieties of e-learning creating an innovative teaching-learning methodology. A new innovation that increases the effectiveness of the teaching situation and offers new opportunities of interactive learning situation. Blended Learning and CALL Historical background The use of computer in language learning has started actually in the sixties of the twentieth century. With the advent of the eighties of the century, CALL have been gained considerable space in language learning systems especially, in the advanced countries, in association with great developments in language learning programs. Computer-assisted language teaching and learning development can be categorized into three stages associated with changes and developments in the linguistic and psycho-linguistic fields. The first was started in the sixties. It was established on the principles of the behaviorist theory, which considers the computer as an optimal tool for learning; that it allows repetition, which enables learning. Therefore, the implementation in this period was restricted into extensive drills, teaching grammar and conducting translation tests...

...Successful Online Distance Learning The advent of technology has enabled most universities to provide distance learning capabilities. California Intercontinental University provides technology enabled distance education in a convenient manner. I made a decision to enroll in an online program to achieve my Doctor of Business Administration degree to advance my career forward. I am fully aware that, pursuing my education in an open distance learning environment is not going to be easy. First and foremost, balancing my online learning endeavor together with maintaining my regular life commitments involving family matters, my job and social interactions is expected to be challenging. In order to overcome these challenges, I intend to create appropriate enabling environment for my online learning experience without too much disruptions affecting my way of life.

...What is eLearning? The teaching and learning methodology is a four-step progressive / recursive design adapted from experiential education theory. Using this methodology, material covered during this training will be systematically presented (Step A), practiced (Step B), assessed (Step C) and reviewed (Step D). Starting at the top of the circle to the right, Step A represents the introduction to new materials such as theory and skills. Progressing to Step B, participants will practice the application of the newly presented materials. Once applied, participants will assess their work in Step C, which will lead to a reflection or review of lessons learned in Step D that will inform and influence the next progressive iteration the learning cycle, beginning with Step A. A full progression of this methodology will be attempted each day of the training event. For example, the first day of this training will focus on the fundamentals of eLearning, where materials will be presented during the initial part of the day (Step A) and learning activities centered on the application of these materials will be conducted during the latter part (Step B). Concluding the day, participants will be asked to assess their understanding of the fundamentals of eLearning (Step C) and to identify questions and unresolved related issues for the next day’s session (Step D). The second day will build on the materials introduced and practiced during the first and will be guided by the participants’ assessment...

...ELearning VS Traditional Learning Rashonda Ocain COM 170 June 23, 2014 Professor Olson E-learning VS Traditional Learning Many Americans consider continuing their education every day, but do not know whether online or traditional education is the best fit. As technology progresses significantly, it has bearings on every area of life, even on the way of learning. Today’s way of living now gives students the option to not only attend school/class in a traditional classroom, but to also attend virtually. Therefore, if a student works full time and wants to attend school – he now has the option to attend online. Despite sharing some apparent similarities, the differences between traditional and online learning environments are extraordinary. Traditional and E-learning are suitable learning environments that have different executions in (a) scheduling and participation, (b) student/teacher relationships, and (c) assignments and test. The first distinctions between traditional learning and e-learning are scheduling and participation. Traditional classroom settings require a fixed environment, which reduces the amount of students that can learn at the same time. However, an online class allows thousands/millions of students to take the same course at one time. Moreover, traditional classes are not flexible. Traditional classrooms require that students and teachers show up for classes at a certain time, while online classrooms can be assessed anytime during the day. Therefore...

...Australasian Journal of Educational Technology 2012, 28(4), 580-598 Empirical validation of the importance of employees’ learning motivation for workplace e-learning in Taiwanese organisations Hsiu-Ju Chen and Chia-Hung Kao I-Shou University, Taiwan E-learning systems, adopted by organisations for employee training to enhance employees’ performance, are characterised by self-directed, autonomous learning. Learning motivation is then of importance in the design of e-learning practices in workplace. However, empirical study of the alignment of e-learning with individual learning needs and organisational goals is an area with limited research. This study intends to clarify the importance of learning motivation in employees’ e-learning systems use behaviour, based on the information systems success model. Data from one hundred and eighty-five employees who used e-learning systems in their work environment were gathered in Taiwan and analysed with PLS. Results showed that employees’ learning motivation, reflecting their learning needs and strengths, influenced perceived usefulness and satisfaction with e-learning, and their use of the systems, which enhanced their task performance. The results validated the importance of employees’ learning motivation and the need for alignment of employees’ learning needs and organisational goals in e-learning training. The clarification can help facilitate an organisation’s human capital management, and contributes to further advancement of...

...cost associated with the training. Information technology can develop the workforce, and increase the profitability. In my research I investigated all aspects of employment development known as E-Learning. I applied this advanced training methodology to my current company for direct analysis. I wanted to develop a plan based on the research that could present to the company showing the advantages of E-learning. Even though I don’t have direct financial access to all of the company’s resources, I could still show the fiscal impact of my research and request a proposal for implementation. Keywords: E-Learning, infrastructure, costing, development, advantages, information technology E-Learning: Employee Training and Development When reviewing the company’s strategic plan I noticed a decreased budget in training and development without a qualitative solution to supplement the change in planning.

...of E-learning effectiveness is important. It is because we have to define that whether learning by using electronic media or through the Internet is effective or not. Nowadays, technology have helped human in all types of activity including education. This is what we can see in our daily life. Although technology is getting more advances, but there is not necessarily that it can help a lot in education field. Throughout this research, we have to find out the factors and how the factors affect the effectiveness of E-learning. Since technology nowadays is advances than older time, people would rely on electronic device. So, E-learning will be more practical and effective since people nowadays will have more interested on learning by using the combination of technology and education. Besides, with the Internet available, knowledge can spread widely. This can foster the process of learning and people can gain knowledge faster. E-learning may benefits to all of the users which means both of the learners and instructors. Let’s say if a company chooses to train their employee by using E-learning, this may result to material cost decrease. It is because the company doesn’t have to prepare an operating room just for the training purpose. E-learning can be flexible because the learners can study anywhere and anytime as long as there is device and also connection available. The advantages of E-learning are yet to be discovered. If the government can make good use of E-learning...
