Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are finding new opportunities to profit from areas like online education.
Electronic training (e-Training) is based on the concept of distance learning, where students have no face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
e-Training course marketplaces like Udemy show that the e-Training industry is growing.
Udemy.com offers over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics, from design and personal finance, to courses on better parenting and motivation, etc …
(Udemy currently offers 30,000+ e-courses covering all topics!)
The fact that the e-Training industry is growing and that so many topics can be taught online is not only great for people looking to gain practical knowledge and skills, but also for businesses that have valuable educational content that can help transform the lives of others.
eTraining – Opportunities And Challenges
The internet provides tremendous technologies and opportunities for developing online training courses. Training-boosting computer-based tools and technologies include Learning Management Systems (LMS), online videos, web-conferencing apps, audio courses, forums, PDF reports, etc. There are, however, a number of drawbacks when it comes to developing courses online.
Some of these include:
- Figuring out methods of delivery,
- Employing popular tools that don’t require spending extra time learning,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Assessing student performance,
- Creating reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account factors like the lack of human contact, potential lack of motivation (e.g. boredom), loss of focus, etc.
Online Courses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell products online, creating an ecourse that helps people gain practical knowledge and skills is a great way to attract new subscribers or monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as 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 taught online.
(Got knowledge, skills or an interest in photography, landscaping or copywriting? Turn it into an online training product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. If you have been online for a while, however, you probably already have the building blocks of great content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new product.
If your website is driven by WordPress and you would like to develop and sell e-learning courses, there’s an inexpensive and powerful solution that you may want to consider adding to your site.
