Web-based education is a broad concept. Simply put, it means education that is made available in some way through the web or the internet. Most often it is pure distance learning, where the web becomes a convenient channel to reach the content on demand. The difference between e-learning and web-based training is that e-learning can also mean, for example, installing software on your computer where the training material is located, thereby allowing you to access that training input without the need to involve the internet.
But today, the internet is so widespread and so much a part of our everyday lives that virtually all e-learning and the digital components of blended learning fall under web-based education.
Why web-based training?
What is the point of web-based training? Accessibility is the short answer.
- The participant can complete the course from anywhere, as long as there is internet access.
- The course participant can complete the course at any time, so it can be planned around scheduled time etc.
- The participant can divide the training into smaller parts, and easily continue with the next part at the next convenient time.
- The student can easily repeat the parts that are more difficult at their own pace, until they actually fully understand and can move on.
With web-based training, the training is always available. Another major benefit of this is of course the production itself. Once you have created a course, it can be run an unlimited number of times, by an unlimited number of people.
When is web-based training suitable?
Of course, web-based training works very well for in-house training, or for training as a product, where you sell the training itself. But it also works well for training your customers on your products.
By providing the right training for your customers, you can strengthen your delivery and increase customer satisfaction while reducing the number of support calls. This, together with the low overheads and high availability of web-based training, is a winning combination.
