Folks,
Although we generate the majority of our revenue from "live" courses, I believe that the future of training is online. There are several advantages that I can think of off the top of my head.
1. No travel involved (this is definitely a plus in today's world environment).
2. Can watch something multiple times in order to learn the subject matter more thoroughly.
3. Can pause/stop to handle urgent issues.
4. Don't have to spend time away from work
5. Learning is integrated with work. When you need the knowledge, you can access the necessary content.
There are also some disadvantages as well.
1. It is not instructor-led. This makes it hard to ask specific questions and get immediate answers (must rely on e-mail or chat instead).
2. Harder to do labs.
3. Easy to get distracted. It may be easier to focus in a classroom setting.
What are your thoughts? Can online training overcome the disadvantages? Do you use online training? If so, for what type of training? If not, why don't you subscribe?
We appreciate your thoughts. Hopefully, your insights will help us produce a better product.
