What are the benefits of e-learning in terms of people reached, costs saved?
e-Learning products can be extremely cost effective, reaching a wide audience in a short time frame. Approximately 400 staff viewed our Freedom of Information Act module in the first three days after launch. Roll-out of this information would have been significantly slower if the same number of staff had attended face-to-face briefings. Staff were also away from their work for a much reduced time because there was no travelling to and from venues. Compared with other forms of learning activity, one particular e-learning module cost 20% of an equivalent face-to-face briefing.
