問 20
Incorrectア
Taking the course on the system's content directly from the design staff and asking questions on the spot is a benefit of face-to-face training (group classroom training) or a live format, where the instructor and the learners share the same time. Standard e-Learning is asynchronous: each person views recorded or text-based materials on their own. Direct question-and-answer on the spot is therefore something it is poor at, so this cannot be called a benefit obtained by using e-Learning.
- イ
正解 The correct answer is イ. e-Learning refers to a form of learning in which teaching materials are delivered over a network to PCs or tablets and learners study on their own devices. Unlike group classroom training (face-to-face Off-JT), learners do not have to go to a fixed venue at a fixed date and time, and the materials can be viewed at any time. Therefore, the release from constraints of time and place expressed as “business staff can take the course whenever they like, using the free time in their own work” is exactly the benefit that is obtained only by adopting e-Learning. Since this question targets “business staff nationwide”, their work locations and busy hours all differ, so this asynchronous, self-study nature is especially effective. In addition, once the material has been created everyone can take the same content, so variation in explanations caused by an instructor's skill or by the particular session is unlikely to occur, and travel costs and venue costs can also be held down.
Incorrectウ
Multiple people being present together and exchanging opinions is a benefit of formats in which learners gather in one room, such as group discussions or workshops. e-Learning assumes that each person takes the course in a different place and at a different time, so exchanging opinions while sitting together is hard to achieve. Auxiliary functions such as message boards may exist, but that is not the e-Learning-specific benefit being asked about here.
Incorrectエ
Gathering people in one place and training them all at once is a description of group classroom training itself. Bringing together staff scattered across the country requires travel expenses and travel time, and it is also hard to align schedules because of their work commitments. e-Learning is precisely a means of eliminating this need to gather people, so gathering them is not one of its benefits.
- The essence of e-Learning is that materials are delivered over a network and learners can study at their own pace without being restricted by time or place — an asynchronous, self-study form of learning. The more widely the target learners are scattered across the country, the greater the effect.
- Grasp the difference from group classroom training (face-to-face Off-JT). Immediate questions to the instructor, discussion among learners, and holding one session for everyone at once are the strengths of group classroom training, whereas the strengths of e-Learning are freedom in when to take the course, uniformity of content, and reduced travel and venue costs.
