Need for e-Learning

The emphasis for corporations is to educate their employees, which are shifting from learning to continuous learning. This is on account of the fact that new products and enhancement to the line of products is an ongoing process.

E-Learning is the best solution for this kind of business scenario.

Value proposition

The nature and competitiveness of the market requires that companies keep their costs down, reduce their time to market, and improve the quality of their products. Corporations turn to
e-Learning as a means to achieve those targets and remain competitive.

E- Learning and Return on Investment

These considerations lead us to a situation most corporations have to face: How do you calculate the cost of training in relation to the return on investment? The calculation of Return On Investment (ROI) in learning is neither tangible nor immediate. Results are usually perceived at least six months or more after the training has been delivered.

You can use ROI calculations to identify and measure tangible and intangible benefits of training programs, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Increase in productivity
• Reduction in cycle time
• Performance improvement
• The fair share of the sales training contribution to your business bottom line
• Other measures specific to your training situations
• Recommendations on future improvement in training investment decisions and/or program development and implementation

ROI is a key financial metric of the value of business investments and expenditures. It is a ratio of Net Benefits to Costs expressed as a percentage.

This formula can be expressed as:
[(Monetary benefits - cost of the training) / cost of the training]
x 100
For example, evaluation research determines that there is a 10 percent increase in the number of sales following the implementation of a selling skills training program for an organization's sales personnel. Other data from the organization's financial system reveal that each one percent increase in sales is equal to increased annual revenue of $25 Million. Further, it is known that the training program cost $75,000. For this example ROI is calculated as: [($250,000 - $75,000) / 75,000] x 100 = 233%

This means that for every $1 invested in the training program, the organization realized a net benefit of $2.33 in the form of increased revenue from additional sales.
