Summer is Hot and So is E-Learning
|
 Check out IPI's online courses and training. We have six courses with more on the way! E-learning can produce great results, decrease costs, and improve performance. Unlike instructor-led, face-to-face courses, IPI's e-learning courses are available for six months from the date of purchase. This ongoing access to resources proves beneficial and offers better return on investment, as the course can act as a job aide. Because e-learning is not bound by geography or time, the course(s) can be completed at your convenience. Costs are decreased as travel expenses are not applicable. E-learning allows the learner to try and try again if an interaction is not completed correctly the first time. E-learning allows the learner to answer questions honestly without the fear of failure. Britain's Open University's "study found that producing and providing distance learning courses consumes an average of 90 percent less energy and produces 85 percent fewer CO2 emissions per student than conventional face-to-face courses." IPI offers special pricing for bulk order purchases of more than five courses. Contact Lauri Chudoba to learn more.
