Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like providing online training and elearning systems.
Electronic learning (e-Learning) is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the teacher or trainer.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
eLearning course marketplaces like Udemy.com are strong indicators of the growth of the eLearning industry.
Udemy.com provides over 30,000 online courses on every topic imaginable, from business and personal transformation, to religion & spirituality and language learning, etc …
(Udemy.com currently offers 30,000+ ecourses on every topic imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Training industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for individuals that have something to teach.
e-Learning – Benefits & Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of planning, developing and implementing e-courses include:
- Working out training delivery methods,
- Employing familiar tools and technologies that students can use instinctively to start learning,
- Ensuring consistent standards are used throughout content design, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading student scores,
- Creating useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face contact, boredom, potential lack of focus, etc.
eCourses – A World Of Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell products online, creating ecourses that help people acquire the skills they need is a great way to attract new subscribers and monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your industry or niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be taught online.
(Got a passion or interest in photography, horticulture or technical writing? Turn it into an e-training product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. Chances are, however, you probably already have training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new product.
If you are searching for an inexpensive way to develop and sell training products and your site is built using WordPress, there’s a great courseware solution that can help you.
