E-learning and its usage in corporate education

E-learning is an educational process utilizing computer, internet, intranet, information, communication and multimedia technologies in order to improve the quality of education and cooperation of the whole educational community and to facilitate access to educational materials, services and information exchange. The objective of e-learning is efficient, fast and easily accessible education. Combined with standard forms of training (distance and full-time studies) e-learning allows one to combine the needs, schedule and opportunities of the student in an optimal way. All this is possible because the educational activities can proceed not only in educational institutions, but also in environments chosen by the student (home, working environment, holidays, traveling etc.) In this way e-learning enables one to save considerable financial expenses. These are attractive reasons for using e-learning and blended learning- not only for individuals but also for corporate training. This proves even more interesting for companies utilizing external training which is not an inexpensive undertaking
