Employers Benefits from online staff training
While the most obvious impact of e-learning on Return on Investment (ROI) is the
significant cost savings it can produce over traditional training, more significant impact on ROI can be achieved as a consequence of e-learning.
Well constructed e-learning is not only faster and less expensive than classroom training but also more effective. Numerous studies have shown that people learn faster
with multimedia training; they more accurately recall what they learned over a longer
period of time, and they are better able to transfer what they learned to actual performance.
Studies conducted by the military, education and industry cite a 15-25% increase in
learning with significant increases in retention and transfer of training. Brandon Hall
(1995) reviewed a number of studies on multimedia training and return on investment. The studies involved such companies as Intel, American Airlines, Pacific Gas
and Electric, IBM, Bethlehem Steel, Bell South, Steelcase, and Pizza Hut.

In all studies reviewed the results indicated significant increases in the quality of
learning when computer based training was compared with traditional classroom instruction. Numerous studies have shown significant “bottom line business results”
due to computer based training.
Managers also reported on the improved morale and confidence of technicians and
American Express stated that the real return on investment of CBT lies in the use of
simulations and real-life scenarios to teach thinking processes or mental models.
“While training is not the universal answer for all human performance issues, it can provide viable solutions
to many of the new challenges that face corporations.
Well-constructed computer based training, if employed
appropriately, can yield significant improvements in
learning and performance. This positively affects ROI
and significantly improves a corporation’s competitive
advantage”.
CompTIA IT skills are in demand worldwide.
