Issues and Challenges in Applying Computer-Based Distance Learning system as an alternative to traditional training methods

Abstract

Many scholars have listed the problems that prevent organizations’ employees to attend face to face training methods. Additionally, they have presented Information and Communication Technology (ICT) especially distance learning system as important way to overcome these obstacles. However, they did not depend on empirical studies to mention those problems and to compare between traditional training method and applying computer-based distance learning system. Therefore, this survey aims to distinguish between the traditional training methods and computer-based distance learning system as an important way to overcome employees’ problems with traditional training, including the challenges and some issues.
