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

Several similar expressions are used in the literature, which are slightly different variations of e-learning:

  • m-learning (mobile learning)
  • distance learning
  • cyber learning
  • computer aided learning, etc.
