E-learning in further education is booming

Would you like to continue your education, but only have little and irregular time? E-learning courses make it possible to continue your education as needed, even alongside your job. You can choose your ideal e-learning course from a pool of synchronous and asynchronous e-training offers as well as hybrid forms.

As a company manager, you plan e-learning in further education according to company and employee needs. Over 2/3 of the top 500 companies in Germany are already taking advantage of this form of further education – figures that speak for themselves.

Synchronous or asynchronous learning?

While only very tech-savvy learners turned to electronic learning a few years ago, today even people with little internet experience are logging into webinars. A webinar is a form of synchronous learning that requires the presence of learners and instructors at a specific time. The same applies to the virtual classroom, where the "social feel-good factor," which should not be underestimated in e-learning, sets in. Blended learning also allows this to be experienced on-site by combining online training and face-to-face events.

For learners who like to learn at variable times and often repeat exercises, online seminars are the ideal choice. Mobile learning, in which learning units are received on portable devices, offers even more flexibility. – Why not learn on the beach on a holiday island? The prerequisite, of course, is flawless mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet reception.

Practical examples for further education through e-learning

Electronic learning is now available for all professions, industries, and subject areas. A few real-life examples of possible applications illustrate this:
