The introduction of eLearning in an enterprise used to be problematic, because the learning habits of employees did not really match the eLearning forms. Frequently, employees were given free rein with the expectation that they would learn on their own.
The structure of the different forms of eLearning was already described
in chapter 1. The question is, however, which forms of eLearning suit
what kind of employee?
In general, it can be said that employees who like to work with computers
and who grew up with computers, so to speak, are very enthusiastic
about eLearning. This holds true for younger employees who have a
high level of education and whose workplace has always been a computer.
In such case, there is nothing to be said against learning on demand
offerings. This target group readily accepts learning modules that
can be accessed easily and completed at work. The availability of
support via e-mail or a hotline is by all means helpful here.
Older employees with lower level of education or who have had little
opportunity to take part in continuing education are more likely to
be resistant to eLearning.
