Abstract

Corporate e-learning is a way how a company can spread desired information among all employees without any time or space limitations. It is considered as a simple and low-cost method of educating employees. Companies are constantly growing and with an increasing number of employees it is easier but also more convenient to implement e-learning for the purposes of education. The chapter describes implementation of e-learning from the perspective of a company providing e-learning systems but also from the view of a company actively using e-learning. Both views are supported by a questionnaire survey realized among employees using e-learning at work. Combination of three points of view enables us to achieve a complex picture about the current state of e-learning, its advantages as well as disadvantages, and last but not least, to give us the insight into importance of implementation of e-learning in companies.
