Benefits of New Media Learning

Over time, a variety of case studies have explored the benefits of highly interactive self-paced learning in today's high-tech marketplace. Following are some of the benefits available to your company when you choose courses from the LearnTech family of training products.

Self-Paced

No two people learn at the same rate. Computer-Based training and interactive learning allow each student to work at their own pace.

Hands-On

In a survey by Industry Canada, 92.85% of trainees rate the hands-on aspect of highly interactive learning to be very important in a training program.

Just-in-time

New media learning is available when required. There is no need to schedule group training time for new hires or to retrain current employees.

Consistent

With new media learning and computer-based training the training content is not instructor or session dependent so all students get the same training. Interactive self-paced learning allows employers to get all employees up to the same level of training.

Reduced training time

New media learning can provide up to a 50% reduction in training time. This allows trainers to spend more time on company specific aspects of the training and less time on the basics.

Cost effective

Because of the reduction in training time required for new media learning, employees are able to spend less time away from the production floor.

Increased flexibility

Always available and cost effective, computer-based training provides flexibility by allowing employees to be reassigned to areas previously restricted to them by lack of training.

Increased retention

The high interactivity of computer-based learning was ranked by students as a more enjoyable way to learn compared to old-style classroom training. Application and retention of concepts is also higher.

Reduced language barriers

A large percentage of factory floor workers do not have English as a first language. New media learning allows these students to repeat sections as often as they need. Tests have shown that learning programs with both audio and visual cues are more quickly understood than strictly audio learning.
