A company with staff in twelve countries needs to give all employees the same compliance training quickly, allowing each person to study at their own pace. Which is the main advantage of e-learning in this situation?

The main advantage is consistent delivery at flexible times and places at low marginal cost per learner. Staff across many countries receive identical content and study at their own pace, though motivation and assessment of learning still need managing.

  2. BImmediate personalised feedback from a senior manager
  3. CGuaranteed higher motivation than face-to-face training
  4. DElimination of any need to assess learning outcomes

Explanation

E-learning gives consistent content to dispersed staff, accessible when and where they choose, with low cost per additional learner. It does not guarantee motivation, does not replace assessment, and personal feedback from a manager is not inherent in it.
