This aim covers the provision of both Face-to-Face learning and E-Learning through paper based materials and on-line training programmes. Physical presence was a no-brainer, and any other type of learning was questionable at best. In essence, e-learning is a computer based educational tool or system that enables you to learn anywhere and at any time. Technology has advanced so much that the geographical gap is bridged with the use of tools that make you feel as If you are inside the classroom. There is a plethora of different e-learning systems (otherwise known as Learning Management Systems, or LMSs for short) and methods, which allow for courses to be delivered. With the right tool various processes can be automated such as the marking of tests or the creation of engaging content. E-learning provides the learners with the ability to fit learning around their lifestyles, effectively allowing even the busiest person to further a career and gain new qualifications. Some of the most important developments in education have happened since the launch of the internet. These days learners are well versed in the use of smartphones, text messaging and using the internet so participating in and running an online course has become a simple affair. Message boards, social media and various other means of online communication allow learners to keep in touch and discuss course related matters, whilst providing for a sense of community. This is especially important if the e- learning training is being given to employees in a sector where keeping up-to-date on industry developments is of the utmost importance. Overall, traditional learning is expensive, takes a long time and the results can vary. E-learning offers an alternative that is faster, cheaper and potentially better.
