eCourses – Benefits And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing effective e-courses include:
- Figuring out training content delivery methods,
- Using familiar tools that learners can use to access the content,
- Ensuring consistent standards are used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
