Features Unique to E-Learning
Like no other training form, e-learning promises to provide a single experience that accommodates the three distinct learning styles of auditory learners, visual learners and kinetic learners. Others unique opportunities created by the advent and development of e-learning are more efficient training of globally dispersed audience, and reduced publishing and distribution costs as web-based training becomes a standard.

E-learning also offers individualized instruction, which print media cannot provide, and instructor-led courses allow clumsily and at great cost. In conjunction with assessing needs, e-learning can locate and target individual learning preferences. Additionally, synchronous e-learning is self-paced. Advanced learners allowed speeding through or bypassing instruction that is redundant while novice slows their own progress through content, eliminating frustration with themselves, their fellow learners and the course.

In these ways, e-learning is inclusive of a maximum number of participants with maximum range of learning styles, preferences and needs.
