- 8. Preconditions for successful deployment Real problem Is there is a traditional sub-optimal learning process? Is there a large volume of new employees that need induction? Do you have a geographically dispersed structure? Appropriate audience Do employees know how to turn-on the pc? Right size Do you have more than 50 employees? eLearning can be used everywhere but its value increases with size.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Η εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία είναι μια δύσκολη όπως όλοι μας γνωρίζουμε. Είναι δαπανηρή σε χρόνο και χρήμα, δύσκολα μετρήσιμη και με μακροπρόθεσμα αποτελέσματα . Από μια στενή οπτική βασισμένη στην καθημερινότητα τα πλεονεκτήματα μιας εκπαιδευτικής διαδικασίας δεν είναι καθόλου άμεση ή προφανή. H τεχνολογία φέρνει πρώτα από όλα μια υπόσχεση. Μια υπόσχεση ότι η δύσκολη αυτή διαδικασία μπορεί να γίνει πιο φθηνή, μπορεί να προσφέρει θετικούς πολλαπλασιαστές τόσο στην εταιρία όσο και στους ανθρώπους, μπορεί να εξατομικευθεί και τυποποιηθεί. Μπορεί επίσης να προσφέρει μεγάλη ευελιξία για το που και πότε θα πραγματοποιηθεί και τέλος ότι μπορεί να μετρηθεί και να υπολογισθεί ο αντίκτυπος της στην λειτουργία της εταιρίας. Τα πλεονεκτήματα που εν’δυνάμει φέρνει το eLearning είναι πολύ σημαντικά για να περάσει απαρατήρητο.

Formal Learning – Έχει αρχή και τέλος, πιθανά κάποια αξιολόγηση και κάποιο πιστοποιητικό ενώ καλύπτει ένα γνωστικό αντικείμενο σφαιρικά . E ίναι σαφώς πιο δύσκολο και πιο ακριβό σε χρόνο και χρήμα αλλά σαφώς πιο πλήες. eLearning -
