The e-Learning
is non-face learning using the resources offered by technology. Currently there
are many tools that complement traditional training, allowing any user to have
easy access to learning anytime. E-Learning ensures continuous training
(anytime, anywhere). The student can learn when and wherever he wants.
The e-Learning
environment is the Internet. Using virtual environments, Learning Management
Systems, discussion forums, chat rooms, video conferencing, Web seminars,
games, web 2.0 resources (blogs, social networks), strengthens the e-Learning
model.
The use of e-Learning
is increasingly widespread. Large technology companies offer services directly
themselves (in-house), supplemented with external content providers. Other
companies outsource entire business model of services and content providers.

to a new way to educate, to new working environments, where social organization
of communities and new economic frameworks will play a leading role.
Technological changes and new solutions are emerging, creating collaborative
environments on which to develop the transformation and evolution of all
aspects of life.

services offered by technology. Face learning model mix with e-Learning, the
Internet connectivity, the touchscreens PCs, and guarantee a rich training
model pluralist and collaborative.
One of the main
challenges for e-learning is to make learning resources dynamic, interactive
and engaging. It is not a simple conversion of text on paper to digitized text,
audio and video mixing. Online courses should develop diverse types of
multimedia activities, with criteria of creativity, usability and practicality.
You have to
offer a quality education in an environment that it is in a process of constant
updating. The contents developed today may highlight its innovative format, but
tomorrow it will be obsolete. The technology used to create these files will
change.
In this context
it has developed the social e-learning, taking advantage of the communication
channels, the dissemination and exchange of information on the Internet. Students
will play a leading role in the educational process, collaborating and even
researching for themselves. Learning becomes more spontaneous therefore as
users become accustomed to share and comment.

platform should:
- · Coordinate the formal approach with informal training, as well as persons with social approach.
- · Incorporate social media tools such as blogs, RSS feeds, social networking, file sharing, communication and collaboration tools.
- · Provide a social learning experience collaborative and participator

In conclusion,
the e-learning is an educational channel required to meet the development needs
of company employees. Training through e-learning channel plays an important
role to attract and hold the best talent. Employees are demanding more
flexibility in their training, which requires a shift from a Demand Driven
model to a Supply Driven model. E-learning tools are an important factor in a
Supply Driven model.
