Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are now finding new niches and opportunities to profit from in areas like online education.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
e-Learning course sites like Udemy.com show that the e-Learning industry is growing.
Udemy provides 30,000+ ecourses on every topic imaginable, from business and personal development, to creativity and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy.com offers 30,000+ courses online on every topic imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for individuals that have unique educational content to teach others.
eLearning – Opportunities And Challenges
The digital medium provides many technologies and a great environment for developing training courses online. eTraining tools include Learning Management Systems (LMS), video tutorials, audio courses, web-conferencing apps, forums, eGuides, etc. There are, however, some challenges when it comes to developing online training courses.
Some of the challenges include:
- Working out content delivery methods,
- Employing easy-to-use tools that don’t require an additional learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency of standards in the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student scores,
- Generating useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face interaction, boredom and lack of student motivation, lack of focus, etc.
eTraining – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell products online, creating courses that help people acquire new skills and competency in areas of strong interest is a great way to attract new subscribers or monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every imaginable topic can be taught online.
