Elearning effectiveness in doubt

Over half of learning and development managers (57%) now offer elearning as part of their training provision. But there are doubts about its effectiveness, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development’s annual learning and development survey.

When asked to list the top three most effective training practices, only seven per cent of respondents mentioned elearning.

For respondent organisations using elearning, it is on average available to 60% of employees, but taken up by only half of them. And only 30% are reported as completing courses.
