A.B 458 was presented by Jason Mills, representing the Nevada Justice Association. The purpose of this bill is to provide additional protections to injured individuals receiving workers compensation. For example, section 3 of the bill states that an individual is entitled to an independent medical examination for a workers compensation claim “that is open or when the closure of a claim is under dispute”. Additionally, Mills stated that section 3 of the bill would provide a second opinion to the injured employee in the form of an independent medical examination on a workers compensation case. Mills added that after speaking with insurers and the industry, he is willing to agree on an amendment in subsection 6 of section 3 of the bill. Since the insurer will have to pay for costs associated with an independent medical examination, Mills agreed with the insurers that they should have the right to see the results of the examination report. Furthermore, the bill would require insurers to provide at least three vocational rehabilitation counselors to the “injured employee or personal or legal representative of the injured employee.” This would give these individuals choices since they currently do not have

Students can sign up for courses and choose a format of learning that suits them best; video, interactive tutorials, hyperlinked textbooks or face-to-face group sessions. (US NEWS) Quizzes are given occasionally to ensure that students are learning the material. There are four different types of E-Learning; Knowledge databases (step by step instructions, few explanations and questions), Online Support (Chat rooms, online bulletin boards, email or live messaging), Asynchronous training (Self paced learning based on CD’s, Networks, internet or the intranet) and Synchronous training (Internet using Real Time - communicate directly with the instructor) (Howstuffworks).
It also includes the delivery of content via Internet, intranet/extranet (LAN/WAN), audio- and videotape, satellite broadcast, podcast, interactive TV, CD-ROM, and more. E-learning programs are endowed with a training system, which employees can access, where face-to-face instruction is not possible because the very nature is that it is borderless and potentially global in scope. With e-learning methods, training can take place on-demand, and trainees can be given greater control over their learning than ever before (Rosenberg 2001). This increased control has the potential to improve training effectiveness. E-learning courses add value to traditional learning modes by offering self-paced or live, instructed training classes. Specifically, self-paced courses can be taken at the employee's leisure and are good for self-motivated persons. Typically these types of courses can be taken at convenience of the busy workers as well as for globally dispersed employees. Hence workplace training needs to be broadened and customized (Marc J. Rosenberg & Steven Foreman 2010). Live e-learning is capable of instant updating, storage/retrieval, distribution and sharing of instruction and information. Soft skills such as management, leadership, or team building can be tackled in this environment. However, this type of training works best if the class size is limited to 25
