Formal / credible Video Sequence
A business man in a suit sits in an office and talks about eLearning:

I'd like to take a  few minutes to explain how eLearning can help you. For you as a learner, the principal benefit is that eLearning allows you to learn under your own direction. All you need is internet access, and  your training can be done when and where you need it. Your training can be made to fit in with your lifestyle or your other commitments. You can learn at your own pace too, spending as much or as little time as you need, depending on your current level of understanding and your previous knowledge of the subject.
 
eLearning also allows you to communicate easily, so you can have personalised learning support and discussions with a tutor or your colleagues.
 
For an organisation, the benefits of eLearning are efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency because it produces savings of both time and money: for example, less time off the job, less travelling time, and smaller travel and hotel bills. And effectiveness, because eLearning allows all staff to receive consistent and comprehensive training just when they need it.
