Online News


We all know that newspapers companies are the first to keep us updated with the news every day. But as time goes by there are technologies that were invented as another source of news information that is the internet. But if you notice that even if the internet has already been invented, there are still newspaper companies that still go on with their business. One reason is that, there are advantages and disadvantages with online news vs. newspapers. 



Let’s first talk about newspapers since they were the first who provided up with news updates. The advantages of subscribing from newspapers companies or buying newspapers is first, you can file it and you can touch it and can read it anywhere you go. Newspapers can be delivered even on the remote areas where internet can’t reach. Second is convenience since you can carry it anywhere you want to read them, in your room, garden, patio while drinking your morning coffee, or in the comfort of your bed. Third, it’s you can recycle newspapers, you can use it to wrap something, cover something, burning materials, or you can make a bag out of it. Lastly, you don’t need to use and pay electricity just to get an updated news. The disadvantages are; you need to pay for your subscription. Then it could cause clattering in your home.



On the other hand is the online news. The advantages of online news are its accessible 24/7. You can read online news any time of the day. The second thing is it’s free. You can freely read online news unlike newspapers that you need to pay or spend money to buy them. Then you don’t need to worry with the clattering in your home since you don’t have anything to pile like newspapers. The disadvantage of reading online news is it’s more expensive since you will be suing electricity just to read updated news. Then second is the internet connection, you also need to pay for that. Without internet connection you will have any access to any networking sites.


Now you know the difference of online news vs. newspapers. But either ways it’s still a reliable source for news information. it’s up to you which of these you think is more convenient for you as long as you get the news that you want to know, as long as your money is worth the service that you want.

e-Learning


e-Learning is has boomed over recent years to become a very popular method of learning. In the CPID's 2013 Learning nad Talent Development Study, 74% of companies reported using some level of e-learning with 91% of companies reporting it to be very useful when combined with other methods and nearly 3/4 of respondents saying it is essential for learning. Clearly it cannot be ignored.

1. More Flexible
    e-Learning can be done in short chunks of time that can fit around your daily schedule. Unlike public schedule and in-house training, you don't have to dedicate your company. Instead, you will have a set amount of learning, normally divided into modules, want to do all of the learning in one day as you work better this way, you can. However if your schedule doesn't allow you an entire day off your everyday task- then you can easily spend an hour or 2 here and there at times that suit you.

2. Mobile 

    As e-Learning can be done on laptops, tablets and phones. It is a very mobile method. Learning can be done on the train, on a plane or any other time that could normally be wasted. Whilst you used to be confined to the classroom, the whole world can now be your classroom.

3. Lower Cost
     As you aren't using a trainer's time or any room or equipment, e-Learning tends to be the much cheaper option. If you already have a device capable of carrying out the training on, then the savings can be considerable. Therefore if you and your company are on a budget, this can be the ideal option for you. Equally for conpanies that have thousands of employees then it can reduce the cost per head especially on areas such as Money Laundering, Compliance and Microsoft Office training.

4. Global
     With very few restrictions companies can be confident that their staff can receive the same content regardless of their location, and in many cases, their nationality. Therefore if you staff understand and use comman methodology, e-Learning is a useful way of ensuring this happens with ease and reduced cost.

5. Tailor it ti you 
     e-Learning courses aren't confined to be fixed to try and suit the needs of the majority. If you feel you already know a particular area well and don't need to spend an hour on it again, then you can skim over it and concentrate that time on something you feel you need to work more at. Everyone is able to learn at their own pace. A massive factor that only e-Learning can provide for.
