Need to further those skills with Photoshop, Flash, Microsoft Office, or XTML...
...but can't break away from your desk to take a class? Not sure what class you would attend even if you could break away?
In SCEA's fast-paced business environment, freeing yourself from the workload treadmill to participate in skill-building activities can be challenging, even impossible at times. Shorter and shorter time frames for training are becoming a requirement in today's workplace. And the shelf life of technical skills continues to shrink - many becoming obsolete in as little as three years.
As workplace learning becomes increasingly individualized, technology is playing a major role in transforming how people learn on the job. Today, more and more professionals are taking advantage of e-learning to fill their knowledge and skill gaps. Whether due to its 24x7 accessibility, its self-paced nature, its convenience with scheduling, its relative low cost in the long-term (especially time and travel), its cross platform usability... the list of e-learning advantages is extensive.
