In the digital age<\/strong>, more and more people are opting for online training methods <\/strong>to improve their skills and achieve their professional goals. E-learning<\/strong> offers a wide range of advantages over traditional training methods. It offers greater flexibility<\/strong>, access to rich, interactive resources<\/strong>, lower costs and the ability to take courses from any location, at home or abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we explore the reasons <\/strong>why e-learning has become such a popular<\/strong> choice of training method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is e-learning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

E-learning involves taking courses exclusively <\/strong>online, at a distance, using specially<\/strong> designed e-learning platforms (LMS<\/a>). This training method offers an interesting combination of knowledge<\/strong> transmission and flexibility, enabling students<\/strong> to work <\/strong>at their own pace and with complete<\/strong> autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An e-learning course is therefore<\/strong> ideal for people who want to progress<\/strong> at their own pace, but also for people who want to train alongside <\/strong>their permanent job or current position<\/strong> in their spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-learning courses can also include<\/strong> a wide variety of teaching c<\/a>ontent<\/strong>, such as videos, slideshows, case studies and interactive activities<\/strong>, all designed to enhance comprehension<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning \u00e0 la carte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

E-learning offers the advantage<\/strong> of learning \u00e0 la carte, i.e., tailoring the learning experience<\/strong> to the level, skills and expectations of each learner, not forgetting <\/strong>the company’s development needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learners<\/a> can therefore study at their own pace, going deeper into modules they consider complex, spending less time on those they have mastered<\/strong> easily, and so on. In a way, the learner<\/a> is the master<\/strong> of his or her own training path.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training organization<\/strong> provides a training program and pedagogical tools and content<\/strong>, and then the learner <\/strong><\/a>simply manages<\/strong> his or her progress independently, following<\/strong> the e-learning platform he or she has selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s more, companies can design or choose training programs <\/strong>that are perfectly aligned with the evolutions and skills upgrades<\/strong> they expect from their employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better learning retention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Numerous studies<\/strong> agree that e-learning<\/strong> courses have a better learning retention rate than face-to-face <\/strong>courses. In other words, learners<\/a> are more likely to retain the concepts <\/strong>and skills covered in self-paced e-learning modules than in face-to-face <\/strong>training, where the flow and pace are dictated <\/strong>by a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant time savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opting for online training means you can concentrate<\/strong> all your learning resources in one place, accessible on the dedicated<\/strong> learning platform anywhere, anytime. Courses, learning tools and additional <\/strong>resources are all in one place, logically<\/strong> organized and, above all, just a click away.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The typical inconveniences of face-to-face training,<\/strong> such as searching for the specific book <\/strong>for a module, summarizing course sheets<\/strong> or simply commuting time, are thus avoided,<\/strong> saving valuable time and effort for the learner.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal of interactive teaching methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another good reason for choosing<\/strong> e-learning for training<\/a> is the interactive nature of the teaching<\/a> <\/strong>methods used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By definition, an e-learning course is delivered entirely online,<\/strong> rather than face-to-face. This paves the way for the use of a multitude <\/strong>of high-performance and interesting technological<\/strong> means and tools to stimulate learner<\/strong><\/a> learning<\/strong> and facilitate the acquisition of skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified training follow-up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High-quality, detailed <\/strong>training<\/strong> <\/a>follow-up is an important factor, as it enables us to analyze the learner’s strengths<\/strong> and weaknesses in order to optimize learning,<\/strong> while also identifying potential areas for improvement in the training itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital nature of e-learning training makes<\/strong> this monitoring much easier. Data relating to each learner’s training<\/a> path is automatically<\/strong> updated with every action taken by the learner<\/a><\/strong>, and can then be analyzed<\/strong> as and when required, with just a few clicks of the mouse, by the learner<\/a>, the company or the training organization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reducing training costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, let’s look at the financial aspect.<\/strong> For companies, investing in e-learning training <\/a>is an ideal way to train employees according to the company’s specific needs, while making<\/strong> very appreciable savings. Whereas face-to-face training<\/a> involves a certain amount of travel for learners, <\/a>the systematic remuneration of one or more physical trainers<\/strong> and a whole range of teaching<\/a> materials, e-learning training requires only<\/strong> an Internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A company or training<\/strong> organization can also freely reuse the training<\/a> provided<\/strong>, without any additional financial investment in terms of training<\/a> content or geographical or time constraints. Similarly,<\/strong> if part of the training<\/a> content needs updating,<\/strong> this can be done quickly and easily directly by the trainers concerned, without any particular<\/strong> logistical constraints.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is an e-learning course eligible for the CPF?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it’s perfectly possible<\/strong> to take an e-learning<\/strong> course and receive CPF funding at the same time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear in mind that the Compte Personnel de Formation<\/strong> (CPF) is a system that enables employees to finance their own professional training<\/a>. It is open to all employees, jobseekers<\/strong> and the self-employed, from the age of 16 until retirement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for the CPF, training<\/a> courses must relate to the professional skills <\/strong>and needs of the employer or the individual.<\/strong> E-learning courses can therefore be eligible for the CPF, provided<\/strong> they meet these criteria<\/strong>. In case of doubt, you can check with your employer <\/strong>or the training<\/a> organization<\/strong> whether the e-learning course you have chosen is recognized <\/strong>and eligible for the CPF.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
