Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are discovering new opportunities to profit from in areas like providing e-training courses and elearning management systems.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not have direct face-to-face interaction with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
e-Training course marketplaces like Udemy.com are strong indicators of the explosive growth of the e-Learning industry.
Udemy currently offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics, from design and growing your influence, to courses on better parenting and language learning, etc …
(Udemy provides over 30,000 courses online on every subject imaginable!)
The fact that the eLearning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for individuals that have something unique to teach.
e-Courses – Benefits And Drawbacks
The internet provides many tools and a great environment for developing and selling training courses online, but there are also many challenges.:
- Figuring out methods of delivery,
- Employing familiar tools and technologies that learners can instinctively use to ,
- Ensuring consistent methods are used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing scores,
- Creating useful reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account factors like the lack of human contact, lack of student motivation (e.g. boredom), distracting environments, etc.
eCourses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your web presence, creating courses that help people acquire the skills they need to advance further is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract 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. Anything can be turned into an ecourse.
(Got skills, knowledge or an interest in photography, landscaping or copywriting? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. If you have been marketing yourself online for a while, however, you already have loads of great content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to create and sell ecourses and your website is built with WordPress, then there’s a great courseware solution that can help you.
