eLearning is learning that takes place using any electronic or digital means. Here’s what it has going for it:

• It knows no time zones, and location and distance are not an issue—learners can access the materials at their convenience
• It can create a number of pathways through challenging material to accommodate different learning styles and interest levels
• Adding audio and animation to visuals helps create better memory links to important  information in people’s heads
• It gives you many mechanisms for highlighting critical information and grabbing a learner’s attention
• Building in time and questions for reflection and application to real life situations helps create meaning for the learner.
