With a plethora of learning methods available, individuals and organisations face the challenge of selecting the approach that best suits their needs and learning styles. With a choice of online, classroom, blended, and virtual training methods, how do you know which is the right learning method for you?

Online learning

Online learning, also known as e-learning, involves educational material delivered via the internet. This method enables learners to access content from anywhere at any time, offering unparalleled flexibility. Key features include pre-recorded lectures, animated videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums.

  • Accessibility: Geographical barriers are eliminated, making it possible to access courses from anywhere in the world
  • Cost-effectiveness: Typically, online courses are less expensive than traditional classroom courses

Drawbacks

  • Self-discipline: Learners need a high level of self-motivation and time management skills
