An Interesting Tidbit about eLearning

If you are considering instructor led vs. e-learning methodologies for your next security awareness training class, it might be interesting to note that it has been indicated that only 15 minutes of a one of a one-hour instructor-led class is relevant and therefore the class may be only 25 percent efficient because the learner had to sit through 45-minutes of unnecessary material. If an e-learner is able to skip 45-minutes of material, or pass a pre-assessment test, allowing them to focus exclusively on the 15-minutes of new material, the efficiency of the online class would equal 100 percent. It is this efficiency that gives e-learning the 2:1 time advantage it enjoys over instructor-led training, according to Brandon Hall.
