How can we use new technology to expand on learning and develop new ways of training and continuing education?
Most recently we’ve seen an increase in e-Learning. In the article Top 10 e-Learning Statistics for 2014 You Need To Know, Christopher Pappas explains that, “in 2011, it was estimated that about $35.6 billion was spent on self-paced e-Learning across the globe. Today, e-Learning is a $56.2 billion industry.” In the same article it’s stated that “according to a report released by IBM, companies who utilize e-Learning tools and strategies have the potential to boost productivity by up to 50%. For every $1 that company spends, it’s estimated that they can receive $30 worth of productivity.[1]” When a company can save money, increase retention and boost productivity by implementing online learning it’s a win-win.
However, by simply replacing hands-on training with e-Learning, companies are doing themselves a disservice. In the article Blended Learning for Electrical Safety Training by Jim Pollard, the author discusses how hands-on training with online learning works together and that “blended learning systems can be used to increase the effectiveness of workplace electrical safety training.[2]” At NTT, we understand the importance of hands-on instructor-led training and we value the benefits of practical demonstration. By anchoring hands-on training with an e-Learning program, you give yourself the advantage of using multiple learning styles and techniques to better understand and retain the overall subject matter. Also, OSHA does not recognize e-Learning as an adequate standalone source for meeting its training requirements, therefore a blended learning approach can best help meet your training needs.
Interested in online training for electrical safety? NTT Training has a new program called SkillCircuit – an online training platform that fosters knowledge retention and improves productivity while meeting the needs of unique learning styles. SkillCircuit anchors online what you’ve learned in the classroom. SkillCircuit is not a standalone product. It is an online tool intended to support any existing or upcoming electrical safety training, for more information visit www.nttinc.com/SkillCircuit.
