Rather than being a passive experience, where the learner just soaks in knowledge through reading or viewing content, interactive e-learning requires learners to be intimately involved. They click or touch the screen. They drag content from one place to the next. They make choices that impact what other content they see. Interactive e-learning may incorporate critical-thinking activities such as games, quizzes, and decision-making scenarios that encourage learners to explore the consequences of their choices in a safe way. While there’s plenty of e-learning developed every day that’s not interactive, the most effective e-learning typically is interactive . ________ Rich E-learning often includes multimedia. The most effective e-learning captures a learner’s interest and attention, engaging them in a real way so that they actually digest the material. That’s why many e-learning courses include animation, audio, and video—creating a multimodal, immersive, and effective learning experience. Benefits of E-Learning With e-learning, you’re taught what you need to know quickly and easily, wherever you are. It’s learning, delivered right to you. And that yields big benefits for your organization. Let’s take a look at these benefits. _______ Reduction and Scalability With traditional training, an organization invests resources in having an instructor prepare a course. Perhaps the instructor spends a few weeks preparing a PowerPoint and a series of workshop-type activities. Then, a group of learners huddles together in a classroom for a few days to consume that content. While they’re there, they aren’t doing their core jobs. If they have to travel for the training, they’re racking up travel costs. The next time the organization wants to train a group, it goes through the same process all over again. But with e-learning, organizations can invest once in a course, then disperse it to everyone and anyone in their workforce, wherever they are. It is so much more scalable and less costly! And because staff can take the course at their own pace, it’s easier to fit it in around their other d ________ out to learners and time anywhere 8 ©Pixibit Pte Ltd
