As you research remote learning solutions for your team, the multitude of offerings may turn your brain in cartwheels. Before we jump into the advantages of eLearning, let’s take a second to define what eLearning is.
**eLearning is a web-based, adaptive solution for modern learners.** Also called self-paced learning, [eLearning empowers remote](https://www.ardentlearning.com/6-multi-industry-challenges)[ learners](https://www.ardentlearning.com/6-multi-industry-challenges) to focus on hyper-specific content that aligns with their roles. Courses provide a personalized experience and a safe place to practice new skills and behaviors. Users track their own progress through assessment scores, completion rates, and other performance indicators. With accessibility for smartphones or computers, participants select the learning environment that works best for them.

Now that you know the *what* of eLearning, let’s talk about the *wh**y. *Consider these seven business advantages of eLearning.
1. **Budget Friendly**: eLearning requires a fraction of the resources and expenses used during in-person training initiatives.
2. **Boost Productivity**: eLearning reinforces business goals and immerses learners in skill development, which leads to greater productivity in targeted areas.
