Purpose ans benefit
If there is a large number of students/trainees, the relatively high cost of e-learning can be justified, and the flexibility of e-learning is well suited to allowing the participants to complete the education/training when they have the time available. Also, a ‘test-out’ feature can allow the participants who already understand the material to complete a pre-test, and if successful to avoid spending time on topics in which they are already competent.
Description
A common application of e-learning in the nuclear industry is general employee refresher training. Due to the large number of trainees, the relatively high cost of e-learning can be justified, and the flexibility of e-learning is well suited to allowing the trainees to complete the training when they have the time available. Also, a ‘test-out’ feature can allow trainees who already understand the material to complete a pre-test, and if successful to avoid spending time on topics in which they are already competent.
Variations
