An Evaluation of Online Instruction for Business Training

This study examines the effectiveness of online instruction within corporate business training environments, with a focus on learner engagement, instructional design quality, and organizational readiness. Using a mixed methods evaluation framework, the research analyzed learner performance data, participant feedback, and alignment between instructional strategies and workplace application requirements. Findings indicate that online training can support knowledge transfer and performance outcomes when instructional materials incorporate clear structure, opportunities for practice, and relevance to real-world tasks. However, effectiveness varied significantly across organizational contexts, particularly where workflow clarity, managerial support, or learning system usability were limited. The study contributes to the growing body of research on digital learning within enterprise settings and highlights the importance of designing learning systems that integrate instructional quality with organizational factors such as information accessibility and performance expectations. Implications include recommendations for improving training design, strengthening alignment between learning objectives and job tasks, and enhancing learner support within digital environments.
