Learning places
eLearning is possible in nearly all places. At home, at one’s place of work, in an island-like area set up by a company specifically for learning, in an educational institution or on the road (e.g. on one‘s way to work or home, or during other free time).
Factors that may have an impact on determining where employees should learn can be derived from the experiences gained in the LERNET projects. At first, we thought that online learning phases could be carried out both at work and at home to an almost equal extent.
However, it turned out that the greatest obstacle to learning at work was insufficient computer equipment. During the pilot phases of the LERNET projects, it also became apparent that employees hardly had any free space at work for learning.
For instance, the daily work routine in many companies is dominated
by the coming and going of visitors, colleagues and business partners.
