E-learning refers to learning that is delivered or facilitated through electronic technologies and aims to provide training and education in a flexible manner. It allows learners to control what, when, and where they learn. E-learning can utilize various technologies like audio, video, web forums, and video conferencing. While e-learning provides benefits like flexibility, cost savings, and improved access to learning, organizations must overcome challenges like organizational change management, a lack of technical expertise, and ensuring program quality and social interaction when implementing e-learning programs. An example is provided of a company that developed an e-learning policy to provide mobile employees with regular training updates through flexible learning opportunities.
