E-Learning

Computer &
Internet Learning

Electronic learning (e-learning) is simply computer or internet supported learning or training.

The benefits range from helping the learner, the employer, the care practice and even organisational finances. So if you want to develop your skills e-learning may be just the thing for you.

The benefits of e-learning effect all areas including:

1. Flexibility. Staff can complete the course at home or at work, they can work individually or as a group.
2. Individual student progress is automatically recorded and available for assessment by managers.
3. A new member of staff can be trained immediately to fit into the team providing seamless care.
4. Immediate access to refresh and retrain on specific areas at the press of a button.
5. It saves time, money and stress by giving you control of ongoing workforce problems;
6. A confident team of workers who know they have had the best possible training because e-learning can be immediately updated to account for changes in need and policy.
