E-learning has many advantages over traditional forms of education, it has been said. President of the International E-Learning Association (IELA) Dr David Guralnick explained these online learning tools enable people to practice tasks in realistic situations. This can result in online training becoming “more engaging and more effective” than when a teacher stands in front of a classroom, as long as the e-learning course is well-designed, the specialist remarked. It can involve simulations that are directly related to operations in the workplace, such as in retail spaces, he added. Studies have revealed this form of education is “better than the more information-based approaches” that are seen elsewhere.
