Training and Development

Event learning is based on the system of training processes. Any learning activity formally designed to reach specified learning goals (Hamblin, 1974). This typically involves: setting needs, agreeing on the overall purpose and objectives, identifying the profile of the intended learning population, selecting strategy and agreeing on direction and management, selecting learners, and producing a detailed specification, confirming the strategy and design of the event, delivering, monitoring and evaluating. The training is an ongoing cycle of development. According to Pilbeam & Corbridge, (2002) the training cycle consists of four major stages: Identifying Training Needs Plan and Design Training Delivering Training Evaluating Training Outcomes Identifying Training Needs Plan and Design Training Delivering Training Evaluating Training Outcomes The Systematic Training Cycle is another similar model. According to Critten (1993), the systematic training cycle explains wh...

Electronic learning (e-learning) is gaining a foothold throughout the world in training and development. The availability of electronic and Web-enabling technologies greatly influences the success of e-learning (Kramer, 2000). The Internet and network-centric computing provide a strong foundation for withe-learning experimentation and extend traditional learning methods through electronic and web technologies to new dynamic learning models (Eckert et al., 1997; Colette, 2001). Figure 01: E-Learning in corporate training Source: Andriotis, 2016 The importance of advanced electronic technologies, such as the Internet, has greatly increased in education over the last few years. The electronic learning systems must be carefully designed and constructed using a scientific approach that embraces well-designed procedures and techniques to make use of these technologies in order to be successful, effective and of a quality comparable to some of the traditional educa...
