- Abstract
Corporate e-learning is not a new concept anymore. Employers and training professionals recommend e-learning technologies in teaching 'hard skills'. But soft skills were not seen in this training list until recently. The radical change in corporate training is that companies are now intelligently opting for e-learning technologies to teach soft skills to their employees. Even the classroom purists acknowledge the fact that e-learning provides cheaper, better and faster training than traditional classrooms. E-learning exploits the power of web networking and capitalizes on corporate technology infrastructures in providing soft skills training. More and more organizations are experimenting with some form of e-learning methods. The question is not whether they implement an e-learning program or not, but whether it is rightly done and gives the desired outcome. This paper throws light on some of the challenges that are involved in e-soft skills training and why the traditional method is still the way.
