E learning :

Advantages Of eLearning
You are able to link the various resources in several varying formats.

It is a very efficient way of delivering courses online.

Due to its convenience and flexibility, the resources are available from anywhere and at any time.

Everyone, who are part time students or are working full time, can take advantage of web-based
learning.

Web-based learning promotes active and independent learning.

As you have access to the net 24x7, you can train yourself anytime and from anywhere also.

It is a very convenient and flexible option; above all, you don't have to depend on anyone for
anything.

Not only can you train yourself on a day to day basis, but also on weekends or whenever you have
the free time to. There is no hard and fast rule.

Through discussion boards and chats, you are able to interact with everyone online and also clear
your doubts if any.

The video instructions that are provided for audio and video learning can be rewound and seen and
heard again and again if you do not happen to understand the topic first time around.

Disadvantages Of eLearning
Well, there are not many disadvantages of eLearning, the main one being that you get knowledge
only on a theoretical basis and when it comes to putting to use whatever you have learnt, it may be a
little different. The face-to-face learning experience is missing, which may matter to some of you.

Most of the online assessments are limited to questions that are only objective in nature.

There is also the problem of the extent of security of online learning programs.

The authenticity of a particular student's work is also a problem as online just about anyone can do a
project rather than the actual student itself.

The assessments that are computer marked generally have a tendency of being only knowledge-
based and not necessarily practicality-based.

Reinforcement theory- BF Skinner

Behavior that elicits consequences is called as the operant behavior and the reinforcement theory
works on the relationship between the operant behavior and the associated consequences. This
process is called the Operant Conditioning and the change in the behavior is caused due to the
reinforcement given after the response.

This theory of motivation totally focuses on what happens to an individual when he/she takes some
action. It is no way related to the internal state of an individual i.e., inner feelings and drives of an
individual is ignored.

Thus, the external environment of the organization should be designed positively and effectively so
as to motivate the employees. This theory is a strong tool for analyzing controlling mechanism for
individual’s behavior.

Following are the methods for controlling the behavior of the employees −

Positive Reinforcement − Positive reinforcement explains that, when an employee gives a positive
and a required behavior, the response towards them should be positive. This stimulates the
occurrence of a behavior. Reward to an employee who performs well reinforces his/her desire to
perform better because of positive results of doing so.

Negative Reinforcement − Negative reinforcement takes place when certain deterrent(s) or

obstruction(s) is removed and the employee(s) responds to a desired behavior after such removal.
For instance, an employee who commutes from a long distances wraps up a few projects faster than
desired; but, when he is told by the manager to take the projects home for a couple of days and
complete them, it stimulates him/her to work as expected. By removing the negative stimuli, the
desired behavior is reinforced.
Punishment − Punishment refers to imposing negative consequences or removing positive
consequences with a view to preventing employee(s) from repeating undesirable and uncalled for
behaviors. It can, therefore, be both positive and negative.

Extinction − Extinction refers to extinguishing a learned behavior by withholding a positive

reinforcement or reward that has encouraged the behavior.

Considering the situation of Dev by using the Six Thinking Hats technique helps him
to learn how to think in different ways to brainstorm.
The six thinking hats that DeBono has identified is as follows : 
White hat :

 White hat is about collecting the facts and information about 6000 employees in
IT vertical. 
 And to collect information about the past HR trends and why HR system needs to
be change.
 Analyse all the information and looks is there any gap in between organisation
structure.

Red Hat: 

   Red Hat helps to look at problems using intuition that what is the problem in
the present HR system and analyze it.
  Red hat helps to think how others could react to it.
  Understand the responses of employees about bringing the new HR system.

Black Hat:

implementing the new HR system and the value in it. 
 Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and
difficult.
Green Hat:

  By Using green hat Dev can develop creative solutions and how creatively he can
implement the new HR system
 Dev can explore a range of creativity tools to implement the new Hr system.

Blue Hat: 

  It helps to identify what stands out the most after hearing all the opinions and
reactions
 Let’s integrate the ideas into a coherent plan and implement the new HR system

Fosters Creativity and Learning

Creativity thrives when people work together on a team. Brainstorming ideas as a group prevents
stale viewpoints that often come out of working solo. Combining unique perspectives from each
team member creates more effective selling solutions.

What you have learned from your individual experiences is entirely different from your coworkers.
Thus, teamwork also maximizes shared knowledge in the workplace and helps you learn new skills
you can use for the rest of your career.

Collaborating on a project creates an enthusiasm for learning that solitary work usually lacks. Being
able to share discoveries with the rest of your team excites employees and fosters both individual
and team knowledge.

2. Blends Complementary Strengths

Working together lets employees build on the talents of their teammates. While your strength may
be creative thinking, a coworker might shine in organization and planning. Do not hesitate to share
your abilities with the team.

Often, a team works well together because team members rely on each other to bring individual
talents to the table. By observing the process behind these skills, you can learn how to combine your
gifts and become a stronger team.

Every time you see your coworkers utilize a different approach in sales, you have a chance to adjust
or improve your methods.

3. Builds Trust
Relying on other people builds trust, and teamwork establishes strong relationships with coworkers.
Despite occasional disagreements, an effective team enjoys working together and shares a strong
bond. When you put your trust in a coworker, you are establishing the foundation of a relationship
that can endure minor conflicts.

Trusting your teammates also provides a feeling of safety that allows ideas to emerge. It helps
employees open up and encourage each other. Open communication is key when working on a team
and produces effective solutions in difficult group projects.

Without trust, a team crumbles and cannot succeed on assigned projects. Great teams build each
other up and strengthen individual members to create a cohesive group. By working together,
employees learn that wins and losses affect everyone on the team. Teamwork necessitates
confidence in each other’s distinct abilities.

4. Teaches Conflict Resolution Skills

Conflicts inevitably happen when you put together a group of unique people. Employees come from
varied backgrounds and have different work styles and habits. While these unique viewpoints create
the most successful work, they can also generate resentment that quickly turns into conflict.

When conflict arises in teamwork situations, employees are forced to resolve the conflicts
themselves instead of turning to management. Learning conflict resolution firsthand is a skill that
employees can use to become efficient managers down the road.

5. Promotes a Wider Sense of Ownership

Team projects encourage employees to feel proud of their contributions. Tackling obstacles and
creating notable work together makes team members feel fulfilled. Working toward achieving
company goals allows employees to feel connected to the company. This builds loyalty, leading to a
higher level of job satisfaction among employees.

Teamwork is not just helpful for employees. It benefits the employer in the long run as well.
Employees that connect directly with their workplace are more likely to stay with the company.
While employees leaving their jobs often cite a lacking salary, another common complaint is that
their contributions do not seem to matter. Teamwork allows people to engage with the company
and add to the bigger picture.

6. Encourages Healthy Risk-Taking

Unity is strength - teamwork concept

An employee working on a project alone will probably not want to stick their neck out for an off-the-
wall idea. If the project fails when working solo, that employee takes the full brunt of the blame.
While you may not get full credit for a successful team project, working with other people spreads
out the responsibility for a failed assignment.

Working as a team allows team members to take more risks, as they have the support of the entire
group to fall back on in case of failure. Conversely, sharing success as a team is a bonding
experience. Once a team succeeds together, their brainstorming sessions will produce revolutionary
ideas without hesitation. In many cases, the riskiest idea turns out to be the best idea. Teamwork
allows employees the freedom to think outside the box.

There may be no “I” in team, but teamwork can still benefit employees on a personal level. Do not
allow competitive natures to get in the way of personal growth in the workplace. Instead,
understand how to resolve conflicts and trust teammates to contribute their best ideas. Learn from
your team members and build on each other’s skills to create more impressive results in the
workplace.
