eLearning uses technology to create a virtual classroom where learners from any location can access information and learn about new topics, technical guidance, and program practices.

Effective eLearning enhances the learning environment, disseminates knowledge to diverse audiences, and engages participants more efficiently and cost effectively than traditional approaches.

eLearning is a mechanism that can expand the reach of your organization's information. Through eLearning, information can be transferred to more people than traditional trainings allow.  

Some of the many uses of eLearning include:

•   Providing continuing education for professionals interested in health issues;
•   Keeping learners up-to-date on state-of-the-art technical content on key public health topics;
•   Demonstrating how learners can apply evidence-based information to real-life situations;
•   Supplementing existing training programs or replacing expensive training methods; and
•   Orienting new hires on agency or donor guidelines.
