In the past few years, e-learning services have gained traction in the corporate sector because they play an instrumental role in educating corporate professionals and keeping their skills up to date. These are preferred by innumerable organizations across the world over the standard classroom training sessions, since they are easier to host and can be customized for each group of learners. Thus, companies can successfully inculcate the requisite skills in the personnel as per the needs of specific departments. For example, they can opt for custom e-learning solutions for Marketing, Human Resources, Operations and other departments. Customization is a useful tool for companies that regularly use e-learning solutions, since it enables them to modify variegated aspects of the solution as per their requirements. Thus, they can make use of custom e-learning products in order to suit their content delivery mode, for example Computer Based Training (CBT), Web Based Training (WBT) and Instructor Led Training (ILT). However, the biggest benefit of such tailor made solutions is the level of customization involved in the content itself. Users can modify the content in accordance with their needs, ranging from product, process and soft skills, to impart the requisite knowledge about the topic of discussion among the learners. The content in tailor made e-learning development solutions can be provided with value added features that enhance the level of user interaction. Such features include voice over and video shoots, which can help the learners grasp the topic under discussion more easily using audio based and graphic media. In customized learning programmes, content conversion and translation, content localization as well as content standardization are among the chief value added features that enhance their utility for corporate users. Such solutions successfully create an environment that is conducive towards learning and also enables users to monitor the growth rate of the learners. In terms of user interaction, companies can decide to integrate new modes of learning, namely game based and mobile e-learning solutions, in their customized learning solutions. With the former, the company can foster an environment where the professionals can learn about the topic using single- and multi-player games and help build camaraderie among them. Likewise, the latter is a feasible option for those who wish to deliver the requisite e-learning content to their professionals on-the-move. Content can be easily delivered on a variety of devices that are used in the corporate sector, including Smartphones and mobile devices, which are compatible with operating systems like Android, iOS, Symbian and Windows Phone. Thus, customized e-learning solutions can provide multifarious corporate education benefits to business firms.

I have a cousin who chose to become a carpenter rather than going to college. Fortunately for him and those who benefit from his beautiful work, he did not heed the advice of many family members who told him he would fail and never make money without a college degree. Once, while he was on vacation, he came to my home in Hawaii. It was hot. At the time the only air conditioning I could afford was a window unit, but I had no window to put one in.
