Learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the Internet.
How does it work?
E-Learning refers to the process of gaining knowledge or skills through electronically delivered instruction or information, usually over the internet. This method of learning can include online courses, virtual classrooms, digital collaboration, and the use of multimedia platforms.
When is it useful?
In a business context, e-learning is increasingly used for employee training and professional development. Companies can provide online training courses for their employees, allowing them to learn at their own pace and at a time that suits them. This can also save companies the cost and time of organizing in-person training sessions. E-learning is also used for customer education, where businesses provide online resources to help customers understand and use their products or services more effectively.
