- 2. Why e-learning effective? E-learning is hot. And for good reason. If done right, it can produce great results by decreasing costs and improving performance. Also, unlike a one time classroom session, the e-learning course is available for others. This includes the static e-learning course as well as any ongoing conversations in networked communities. Recently, I had a conversation with someone new to e-learning and it struck me that she didn’t fully understand the value of e-learning. I think this is common as more people are joining the world of e-learning. Understanding e-learning’s value helps you make the best decisions about when and why to use it.

- 4. E-learning Nurtures a Learning Organization & Community . Ongoing access to resources. If you take a class in the real world and need a refresher, you better hope that you took good notes. Knowledge management. Many people see e-learning as only the authored courses. But e-learning includes all sort of online technologies. Encourage sharing. The foundation of a learning community is built on sharing what you know with others. This is where incorporating a forum or wiki really adds value to your e-learning Employer of choice. People want opportunities to grow. A cafeteria with high fat foods is one way. E-learning is good for the environment. Britain’s Open University’s “study found that producing and providing distance learning courses consumes an average of 90% less energy and produces 85% fewer CO2 emissions per student than conventional face-to- face courses.”
