Over the next few months we will be compiling and loading the crowd dynamics workshops on-line at www.ICCMSS.com This will include a wide range of case studies and applications.

E-Learning can provide benefits for the organizations and individuals involved.
- Improved performance: A 12-year study and analysis of research by the U.S. Department of Education found that higher education students in online learning generally performed better than those in face-to-face courses.
- Increased access: Instructors of the highest calibre can share their knowledge across borders, allowing students to attend courses across physical, political, and economic boundaries. Recognized experts have the opportunity of making information available internationally, to anyone interested at minimum costs.
- Convenience and flexibility to learners: in many contexts, e-Learning is self-paced and the learning sessions are available 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Learners are not bound to a specific day or time to physically attend classes. They can also pause learning sessions at their convenience. Basic internet access, audio, and video capabilities are the only requirements. Students can begin their courses while at work and finish them at home on a different computer.
Additional advantages of computer-based training over traditional classroom training include the ability to:
- Pay less per credit hour
- Reduce overall training time
- Spread training out over extended periods of time (even months)
- Bookmark progress (computer remembering where the student left off so they can resume the courses from there)
- Remain in one location (e.g., home, office, airport, coffee shop, etc.) with no need to travel
- Receive quality training that bolsters job performance
