E-læring vs tradisjonell læring: og vinneren er...!

Hva er e-læring?

E-læring er akkurat hvordan det høres ut: det foregår over internett. Det er en form for fjernundervisning. Det er utskiftbart med begrepet e-læring. En LMS lagrer vanligvis treningsinnholdet, som er tilgjengelig hvor som helst og når som helst.

Hva er tradisjonell læring?

Tradisjonell læring finner sted i et klasserom.

Tradisjonell læring finner sted i et klasserom. Det er en lærer som modererer og styrer flyten av informasjon og kunnskap. Deretter forventer læreren at de ansatte skal utdype sin kunnskap gjennom skriftlige øvelser hjemme. I dag blir teknologi mer og mer innlemmet i klasserommet. Imidlertid, i ansikts-til-ansikt instruksjons scenarier, er den primære kilden til informasjon fortsatt læreren.

Hva er forskjellene mellom e-læring og tradisjonell læring?

These are the obvious differences, but there are also differences in terms of costs and participation rates. Let’s expand a bit on these points:

Participation rates

Although high priority may be given to continuous education in organizations, many times, it is not fully implemented. Employees who take part in the training set up by their managers can feel rushed. Why? Because time is limited, especially given our to-do list that grows each day.

Online learning then comes to the rescue. In fact, a survey [1] of over 700 corporate learners, found out that 87 percent of them preferred to take online courses during work hours. It takes less time than face-to-face learning https://www.easy-lms.com/no/kunnskapssenter/lms-kunnskapsbase/er-e-laring-like-bra-som-a-lare-ansikt-til-ansikt/item12527 [2], and they can easily squeeze it into their daily tasks.

Online modules are often more affordable than in in-house training

Costs

Setting up traditional training is valuable, but also expensive. Online modules are often more affordable than in in-house training. Why? You don’t have to deal with additional costs like travel expenses, training facilities, hiring a trainer, or printing training materials that come with in-house training. In 2019, U.S. training expenses amounted to $83 billion! Of this, 29.6 billion was spent on these additional costs. The overhead to operate online training programs is much lower.

The economic argument shouldn’t be de only decisive factor in whether you choose online training over traditional training for your company.

Are there any similarities?

Although there are more differences than similarities between these opposing learning methods, what they have in common is that they are both effective.

Effectiveness

Online learning is a full-fledged alternative for classroom training

We can’t say that online learning is more effective than traditional learning, or vice versa. It certainly depends on the learning topic and how its effectiveness has been measured. But overall, it seems that online learning is a full-fledged alternative for classroom training. There is good and ample evidence that employees generally learn as much as online as they do in traditional training.

And the winner is …?

We would love to call a winner, but we can’t. It wouldn’t be fair to either of the learning methods because both have their pros and cons. Which learning method is right for your employees or organization depends on many factors:

• What’s your budget?
• What’s the learning topic? Is it practical-based or knowledge-driven?
• What do you want to achieve with the learning? Improving skills or keeping your employees up-to-date about company standards?
• How much time do you want to spend on training as an organization? And how much time can employees spend on training?
• What’s your employees’ motivation level?
• Do you have employees of various ages? Do you primarily work with millennials, or is the majority of your workforce from the baby boomer generation?

Maybe choosing one over the other is too rigid. If you want to combine the best of both worlds, then you should certainly consider blended learning. https://www.easy-lms.com/no/kunnskapssenter/lms-kunnskapsbase/meningen-med-blandet-laring/item10385
