| Abstract: | In 2016, there were over 700 learning management systems on the market. The
estimated market value of LMS in 2016 was 2.6 billion US dollars, while in 2017, it
was 5.7 billion US dollars. According to predictions from some sources, the market
value of LMS will grow to over 19 billion US dollars by 2025.
Where are the companies in Croatia using LMS for employee training? The purpose of this
master’s thesis is to investigate this situation, i.e., the adoption and effectiveness of e-learning
platforms for corporate training purposes across various business sectors in Croatia. As
organizational landscapes evolve, driven by technological innovations and market demand,
ongoing education and development of human capital have become crucial for maintaining
competitiveness in business. This research explores how Croatian businesses integrate
e-learning platforms into their training programs and evaluates the perceived efficacy of such
programs compared to traditional training methods. The study is based on quantitative and
qualitative research methodologies, involving a comprehensive survey of 420 respondents
from diverse industries, as well as a focus group and interviews to obtain more detailed
results. The results indicate a significant preference for e-learning due to its cost-effectiveness
and flexibility, which allows learners to engage with learning content on the basis of a
versatile schedule. However, the findings also suggest that e-learning is less accepted than
traditional face-to-face training or teaching, which is still seen as the more effective solution
among Croatian businesses. These insights draw attention to potential improvements in
e-learning strategies, enhanced interactive elements, more effective mentorship, and better
alignment of instructional designs with learner needs to achieve optimal engagement and
learning outcomes. |
