Digital learning is learning that takes place via the internet using technological interfaces (computers, smartphones). Digital learning, for the most part, means that teacher and student are separated in time and in place. This allows organizations to be flexible in learning processes and meets primary business needs in the the 21st century: learning anytime and anywhere; learning that is accessible and available; and the ability to dispense with the need to go to a specific class to learn something new. Without a learning solution that involves technology, organizations will have difficulty ensuring the up-to-date professional qualifications of their employees or their competitive advantage in the market.
