In the old days, you’d often have to travel and serve as someone’s apprentice if you wanted to change careers. Now, e-learning makes getting educated about something new a lot faster and simpler.

Online Advantages

The main advantage of e-learning is that you can do it on your own time. Advanced learners can whiz past topics they already know, while novices can progress through new content at their own pace. Lower cost is a benefit too. Even comprehensive e-learning programs, such as those offered by the University of Phoenix, typically cost less than traditional degree programs.

“E-learning creates an atmosphere that is a perfect complement to your current job, as opposed to traditional learning methods that require full-time attention,” says Paul Pignataro, founder and chief executive of the Analyst Exchange, a New York firm that provides Web-based financial training.

Easily Digested Information

E-learning comes in all shapes and sizes, but Mr. Pignataro says some methods are more effective. “Learning is maximized when digested in 45-minute sessions as opposed to eight- to 10-hour blocks,” he says. “Shorter sessions give people the ability to process the information at hand and apply it to their everyday jobs as they are learning it.”

Online learning isn’t for everyone, however. Distance coursework relies on online multimedia tools to simulate in-person lectures and tests, so you have to be self-motivated to make it work. Some people are more naturally spurred to action by being physically surrounded by fellow students.
