In this environment, it's essential that countries educate their citizens and businesses must train their workers. To be relevant at all in this society, educational institutions must offer innovative programs. In the information age, learning opportunities span a lifetime - from childhood to adulthood. Our skills and knowledge need constant refreshing to keep up with new technologies and trends. E-Learning will empower the learner to do this, if it's exploited properly.
Students can know more from right around the world and they're able to learn faster with less cost.
The benefits for business are obvious - greater productivity and increased profitability combine with enhanced employee loyalty and quality. There's increased access for lifelong learners and an improved quality in the learning material. There are two fundamental equalisers in life - the internet and education. E-learning eliminates the barriers of time and distance creating universal, learning on demand opportunities for people, companies and countries.
