Over the years web and mobile technology has advanced to the point where online training has become an easy and attainable cost-effective solution for small businesses. No longer do we need to sit through boring PowerPoint presentations that produce ineffective training results for employees. Electronic learning (eLearning) has advanced so that training courses can now be used on any device, anywhere, with the latest technology to engage all employees. We’ve seen this shift in learning mindset with start-ups offering skill specific training as well as universities offering their content online through MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). With these advances, small businesses now have access to courses that would have been only available for large corporations a few years ago. Through eLearning, small businesses are better placed to maintain competitive advantage by offering this type of training for staff. Employees in larger organisations expect to participate in some form of elearning, and soon it will be the norm in small businesses too.
