Face to Face Learning
Face-to-face learning is an instructional method where course content and learning material are taught in person to a group of students. This allows for a live interaction between a learner and an instructor. It is the most traditional type of learning instruction. Learners benefit from a greater level of interaction with their fellow students as well. In face-to-face learning, students are held accountable for their progress at the class’s specific meeting date and time. Face-to-face learning ensures a better understanding and recollection of lesson content and gives class members a chance to bond with one another.
Face-to-face learning is essentially a teacher-centered method of education, and tends to vary widely among cultures. Many modern education systems have largely shifted away from traditional face-to-face forms of educational instruction, in favor of individual students’ needs.

Online learning is a new way of learning, made popular with the technology advancements. With almost everyone having a personal computer and a busy schedule, eLearning has become many people’s favorite way of attending classes and expanding their knowledge. But many are still skeptical that you can attain the same knowledge and skills through a computer as you would in a classroom.
Online learning can be conducted in any environment, at any time, as long as there is a computer, an internet connection, and a person willing to learn. The content of the courses can be transmitted through an LMS in many different multimedia formats. The learning can be interactive and engaging, or it can be simple and lecture style. Online learning has the flexibility to adapt to many people’s preferences. That is one of the ways how eLearning benefits employee training and development.

LMS
An LMS is a perfect way to distribute educational courses. Learning management systems were designed to identify learning gaps by analyzing reports and data. That way, we get to understand the way people learn, what works best, how we can improve training materials, and what are the most effective training methods for employees.
An LMS embodies all the benefits of eLearning. One of them is the ability to work in any device without compromising the quality of the training material, even in mobile devices. Mobile friendly LMSs are the future of learning.
