Online learning vs print learning

摘要

Which is easier, reading this article online or reading it on paper? If it were online would you print it out? Would you think it more reliable if it appeared online or on paper? If there were a test at the end would you rather fill it in online or on paper? Make sure you read carefully - there might well be a test at the end! Valio is a company based in Finland, which engages in processing and marketing dairy produce. Valio offers its employees an internal qualification on completion of a program of learning based on the company products and processes. All new employees are encouraged to earn the qualification, however it is "optional" and takes about seven months to complete. The aims are to increase staff motivation and satisfaction. Sounds like a good idea - it forces staff to really "know" the company therefore producing better outturns one assumes, and gives staff a qualification they can be proud of. Topics covered include strategy, R&D, production, sales and marketing and international subsidiaries.
