eCourses – Benefits And Challenges
The digital medium provides benefits and opportunities for developing and selling online courses. eTraining delivered via computers and increasingly mobile-based tools and technologies include Learning Management Systems, videos, web-conferencing apps, audio courses, reports, online forums, etc. There are, however, a number of drawbacks when it comes to planning and developing effective online courses.
Some of these include:
- Working out content delivery methods,
- Using popular tools that students can immediately use to access the content,
- Ensuring consistency of standards used in the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Grading student performance,
- Generating reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face contact, lack of motivation, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
eTraining – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell information products, creating e-courses that help people learn subjects in areas of strong interest is a great way to grow a subscriber list or develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your niche or industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be turned into an e-course.
