Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic training (e-Training) is is the digital equivalent of distance learning, where learners don’t have direct face-to-face interaction with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
e-Training course marketplaces like Udemy.com are indicative of the tremendous growth of the eTraining industry.
Udemy.com offers over 30,000 e-courses covering all topics, from business and improving self esteem, to courses about happiness and language learning, etc …
(Udemy currently offers 30,000+ ecourses covering every topic imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing and that so many subjects can be taught online is not only great for people looking to acquire skills and competency in areas of high need, but also for individuals that have valuable educational content that can help transform the lives of others.
Online Learning – Opportunities & Challenges
The digital medium provides benefits and opportunities for developing elearning courses, but there are also a number of drawbacks and challenges.:
- Working out the best training content delivery method,
- Employing familiar tools that do not require spending additional time learning,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student scores,
- Creating reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account important factors like lack of human contact, lack of motivation, loss of focus, etc.
e-Learning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to expand your business online, creating e-courses that help people gain practical skills is a great way to grow a list and develop a new stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Anything can be taught online.
(Got a passion or interest in fashion photography, gardening or copywriting? Turn it into an elearning product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. If you have been online for a while, however, you probably already have the building blocks of great training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If your site is built using WordPress and you would like to create training courses, there’s an inexpensive and powerful courseware solution you need to know about.
