6 Rules for Effective Online Training Is e-learning a good solution for training? Some argue that you can’t teach people online, only classroom training is effective because person-to-person interaction is what makes an impact. You can’t ask questions or have a dialogue with online courses the way you can with classroom training. Others say e-learning is the most effective way to train because you can include rich multimedia like animations, interviews, and videos. Additionally, you can train tens of thousands of people in a few hours anywhere in the world.
Both arguments are correct, but the reality is that effective and ineffective courses exist both online and in class. So the argument should not be which is better; the question should be, “How can I ensure my online training is effective?”
