Online learning, or e-learning, is an increasingly important element in learning and skills delivery. It provides the facility to deliver learning over the Internet or via an intranet, integrated with tutoring, learner support and management processes. New e-learning services are helping to widen access, increase flexibility, offer more personalised programmes and enable cross-sector collaboration. At the heart of any e-learning service is the requirement for a learning management system or virtual learning environment(VLE) that can be tailored to the needs of each learning provider and can work with corporate management and administration systems to create a managed learning environment(MLE). 4, record 2, English, - e%2Dlearning%20service

A major challenge we faced in attempting to redefine the company's performance management and review training was that its managers are very busy. They don’t want to take two weeks out of any business quarter to practice giving reviews. Since they don’t need to use these skills every day, mastering them seems of secondary importance to their daily work. Besides, if they take a training course and then wait three months before giving their first review, they’ll probably forget everything they learned anyway. This is excatly why we felt it was so important to give managers the opportunity to practice these skills in a safe, simulated environment just before giving employee reviews. With quality computer-based training, managers could use e-learning a week before the review period to begin to brush up on their skills and prepare for the reviews. 2, record 3, English, - performance%20development%20training

Simulation-based e-Learning delivers better results than traditional web-based methods of training--results that are measurable. Because learners actually perform complex tasks to achieve well-defined objectives, they retain more and are better able to apply what they learn to real situations. By actually being able to see, touch and interact with the new environment during their learning period, users are more comfortable and focused on achieving goals, more confident in their skill and less tentative. 4, record 5, English, - simulation%2Dbased%20e%2Dlearning
