Abstract

E-learning is a most widely acknowledged concept that has evolved as an outcome of the Integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with the training and developmental practices of business organizations. E-learning fosters computer aided and network enabled transfer of knowledge and skills to the workforce so as to cater to their diverse needs in alignment with the fulfillment of organizational goals. There are thousands of Computer Based Learning (CBL) and Web Based Learning (WBL) techniques and software applications available online as well as off-line. The most extensively used of them are Learning Management System (LMS), Authoring tools, Interactive Communication Tools, Content Management systems(CMS), groupware, office suite, mind-mapping tools, project scheduling tools, slide shows, webinars, web-conferences, multimedia elements and simulations. This empirical paper examines the effectiveness of various E-learning tools and techniques used in auto-component industry in order to enhance the job related skills and competencies of their workforce. An attempt was also made to investigate and find out whether the massive investments made on e-learning applications in auto-component firms facilitate in augmenting their business performance by reducing the cost of training and the task-time.
