It was the strangest of times; or might we say the beginning of one of the most trying periods to be witnessed in world history, when the corona outbreak coerced the nation to undergo lockdown!
But did that mean one should lose the opportunity to learn as well? The good news is that the one thing that goes beyond the grasp of lockdown is eLearning.
While the coronavirus outbreak has put the nation on hold, nothing can put eLearning on hold – Here’s why.
ELearning- A timeless digital tool.

With the booming economy in the service sector, statistics show that 98% of all the companies worldwide, were planning to use eLearning by 2020. It has been reported that eLearning usage by corporations has escalated by a staggering 900% in the last 16 years, consistently.
ELearning – an absolute necessity. Why?
It is now that in the wake of the recent pandemic, that almost all the other sectors are re-evaluating the necessity of office spaces. The reasons are as follows:
Dynamic tool:
Since eLearning is a dynamic tool that has transformed the concept of ‘office work’ and taken the ‘work from home’ scope a notch higher with the corporate training, the physical workspaces started to seem a bit redundant. At this hour of the pandemic, none of the corporate work is in a lockdown state owing to the digital space. eLearning has guaranteed this smooth work culture and global collaboration.

Scalable: It is also scalable for any number of trainees/employees.
Employee takes Ownership:
Employees are encouraged to take ownership of their learning to help enhance their performance capabilities and achieve the performance and organizational goals.
Enhanced retention rate:
The Research Institute of America’s study revealed that eLearning enhances retention rates by 25% to 60%, whereas the traditional training retention rates are 8% to 10%.
Isn’t COVID-19 – a pandemic with a silver lining, then?
As a matter of fact, we can say that eLearning is a streak of silver lining in the recent times of unrest (owing to COVID-19 outbreak).
In the bleakest of hours, just like that, eLearning comes as a hope inducing element. There remains not an iota of doubt that eLearning is the ultimate go-to guide, the game-changer in the corporate sector.
