eLearning can play a decisive role in delivering learning systems which meet the demands of today's workers - and the unemployed. SIBIS distinguishes between two broad groups of eLearning technologies: offline eLearning (comprising multi-media learning material such as computer programmes on diskettes, video tapes and CD-ROMs) and online eLearning (learning content being provided online through the Internet or the computer network of the employing organisation or school/ university). The share of the labour force that uses eLearning is 15% on average in the EU and 5% in the NAS, both of which is much lower than the 23% reached in the US.
