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 providing online training and e-learning.
eLearning is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not have direct face-to-face contact with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
Online learning marketplaces like Udemy are strong indicators of the tremendous growth of the e-Training industry.
Udemy.com provides over 30,000 courses online on every topic imaginable, from business and personal brand building, to courses about health and fitness and improving memory & study skills, etc …
(Udemy currently offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics!)
The fact that the eTraining industry is growing is not only great for people looking to acquire practical knowledge and skills, but also for businesses that have unique educational content to share with others.
e-Training – Benefits & Drawbacks
The digital medium provides tremendous opportunities and tools for creating ecourses, but there are also many challenges.:
- Working out methods of delivery,
- Employing popular tools and technologies that do not require investing additional effort, money or time in a new learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Assessing scores,
- Generating reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include lack of human contact, learner boredom, potential lack of focus, etc.
eLearning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your web presence, creating a training course that teaches others useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. Product creation is 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 taught online.
