By Mike Harman | Blog, Digital Publishing, eBook solution, Education Technology | 0 comment | 7 December, 2022 | 0

Pre-COVID-19, we were gradually moving towards eLearning. However, the pandemic led everyone to adopt the immediate transition from traditional learning to eLearning.

Trapped amidst the four walls of their house, students and employees immensely benefited from eLearning. High-tech inventions and digital tools have made designing eLearning programs and modules extremely easy and convenient.

Schools are now distributing eBooks and eModules to their students via eLearning platforms which come with highly intuitive learning tools. Similarly, corporate offices are also indulging in eLearning for employee training and development.

One major advantage of eLearning books and modules is that they allow easy accessibility anytime, anywhere. Additional features like read-aloud, global search, workbooks, margin notes, etc., offer a more interactive and effective learning experience.
