Review of web-based orientation materialsBased on known information about orientation materials as well as web-based training materials , I will now criticize this platform and how it improves or removes message processing. This next section will examine five key areas: (1) cost savings compared to traditional training, (2) the technology gap for individuals who potentially lack IT skills, (3) the ability of users to work at a pace individual, (4) the engagement element of visual communication, and (5) all information processing in a web platform. Cost-Effective To compare the cost of traditional guidance to web-based learning materials, Ward et al. (2001) suggests that it is much more cost effective to produce web-based training materials rather than classroom training materials. Cost savings not only result from printer savings, but also from training costs for instructors and staff (Ward, et al. 2001). However, consideration must be given to the cost of developing training materials – programs to purchase and staff to develop the content and design the training features. Scholar, Mitchell and Savill-Smith (2004), in a book on computer video games for learning, state that "in training and education contexts, it is suggested that they can reduce the time of training and workload of the instructor, for example by providing opportunities for exercises and training. practice » Before moving to a web-based platform, the organization must consider the cost and benefits of a given program.
