Online course marketplaces like Udemy show that the eTraining industry is growing at a massive rate year on year.
Udemy.com offers 30,000+ online courses covering all topics, from office productivity and personal productivity, to courses on better parenting and language learning, etc …

The internet provides benefits and opportunities for developing training courses online. eLearning delivered via computers and mobile-based tools and technologies include Learning Management Systems, video tutorials, web-conferencing apps, audio training, forums, slide and multimedia presentations, etc. There are, however, a number of drawbacks involved in planning, developing and implementing effective ecourses.
Some of the drawbacks include:

- Ensuring consistent standards are applied throughout content design, branding, etc.

There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be taught online.
