This is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for individuals that have unique content that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Benefits And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning training courses online include:
- Figuring out training delivery methods,
- Using popular tools that don’t require spending extra time learning,
- Ensuring consistency of methods delivered across content design, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Grading scores,
- Providing useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face contact, learner boredom, distracting environments, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell products online, creating a product that teaches practical subjects is a great way to grow a list and monetize your website. Product creation is one of the best ways to attract customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be turned into an online training course.
(Got a passion or interest in commercial photography, gardening or creative writing? Turn it into an online training course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. Chances are, however, you probably already have content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a training product.
If your site is driven by WordPress and you plan to create an online training course, there’s an inexpensive and powerful courseware solution that can help you.
