The Benefits of eLearning for Modern Enterprises
Blended learning is gaining traction as companies worldwide recognize the value of combining digital and in-person training to accommodate diverse learning styles. It’s easy to see why this flexible approach is becoming the go-to strategy for effective employee development. Advantages that highlight the power of Electra’s Maximo eLearning programs include:
- Cost-Effective Training
- Flexible Accessibility
- Customized for Enterprise Needs
Let’s take a look at each of these points in more detail:
Cost-Effective Training
By incorporating both traditional classroom-based methods and eLearning, organizations can create a dynamic and efficient training environment. While classrooms offer interactive, face-to-face engagement, eLearning enhances accessibility and flexibility through modules that are easy to deliver and update. Resources like videos, quizzes, and simulations can supplement in-person sessions, reinforcing key concepts and providing sustainable materials for long-term learning benefits. This balanced approach optimizes logistics, reduces expenses, and ensures adaptable, effective training programs
Flexible Accessibility
In our global economy, it is common for employees to span across geographies and time zones. With eLearning, team members can access courses when it best fits their schedule. Whether it’s an early morning session in Edinburgh or late-night training in Los Angeles, your team members will have access to the same quality content at a time most convenient to them. In tandem, it also supports different learning paces.
Case in point: A student who quickly grasps a topic can move on, while others who need more time can revisit the material for better understanding. This flexibility eliminates the frustrations of a one-size-fits-all classroom setting and lets your team member truly master the content. eLearning can augment or even eliminate the limitations of classroom-based courses, providing your team members flexible access to training at their convenience.
Mobile-friendly platforms provide even more convenience and will allow your teams to access training on the device of their choice: laptops, smartphones, or tablets. This is especially beneficial with active (hands-on) Maximo training. The user can select the device they will be using in the real world. This versatility helps ensure training integrates seamlessly into their daily tasks.
Customized for Enterprise Needs
Electra eLearning programs will allow your team to access training content to suit the organizations, and your team members specific needs. Trainers are moving away from “one-size-fits-all” and focusing on the specific needs of the organization. Your team has unique goals, challenges, and user requirements, which is why customized training is essential. Dedicated training programs can be tailored to meet your specific enterprise needs.
Also, eLearning allows your company to provide role-specific training modules. IT staff may benefit from technical tutorials on Maximo configurations, while warehouse users might require a focus on shipping and receiving in the Inventory module. Advanced eLearning platforms support features like role-based learning paths, ensuring that your team receives relevant training for their position.
Complex systems like IBM Maximo require detailed training. Electra recommends not relying on generic material (Wilson and Bedford, anyone?). Customized eLearning can provide in-depth, interactive material best suited to an employees’ specific tasks. Dedicated modules can incorporate simulated scenarios, practical quizzes, and case studies, making the learning process hands-on and engaging.
From role-based learning for IT staff to in-depth Maximo tutorials for hands on end users, the ability to tailor a program for your team’s unique needs are endless. Let us help you unlock the full potential of the new IBM Maximo Application Suite and take your team’s asset management skills to the next level.
