Learning in this topic is more relate to the word training. This is because the process of ELD is actually the process of training to the employee y using system. The main purposes of ELD are Improve and correct an employee’s performance and the organization’s itself. This ELD was good to the employees to know their level of performance in company. So, employee can compare their performance with others employee by ELD by using Key Performance Index (KPI). KPI more related as a carry mark for us. This is because at the end of each year, employee must collect the good number of KPI since the early year. This can help them to get some bonus or increase their knowledge, skill and ability (KSA). Meanwhile, carry mark for student can help them to get the good result at the end of their semester. It shows that it is important to distinguish between learning, training and development to understand the process that lead to acquisition of KSA. ELD system can give impact to management. This system can helps organization in making important decision (Phillips, 1996). This is because the organization already knows the performance of their employee so it make easy to identify the selected employee that will help company for important case or job.  There are also had advantages and disadvantages for ELD. ELD can help company to improve the employee computer skills. This is because; employee must face the computer during the training session. So, automatically employee can improved their computer skills. And the disadvantages of ELD such as lack of human contact. This is because ELD delivered by using the computer only and only have participated between employee and computer. They cannot ask what they don’t understand about the content of the training.
