Communication is vital when company directors are using the internet to train their staff and they need to make them aware that the information is actually out there, according to E-skills UK.
Companies that make training material specific to members of staff saw far greater take up among employees and companies where the use of the internet as a source of learning is embedded within an organisation create training programmes which are "relevant and meaningful in its content", the firm said.
E-skills UK also encouraged company directors to have a very strong focus on the learners themselves by including them when they are developing their internet learning solutions and web services.
A lot of company directors - particularly those of small businesses - do not understand the benefits that they can get from e-learning because they may have come from of a traditional business environment.
According to the Chartered Management Institute, many workers are failing to utilise the internet as a training tool - 72 per cent admit to spending 30 minutes or less online.
Laura Overton, director of e-learning at e-skills UK, said: "It is difficult to say what is enough. On average, businesses across all sectors are expecting to spend by 2010 about 30 per cent of their training budgets on technology-assisted learning."
