Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are finding new niches and opportunities to profit from in areas like providing e-training courses and elearning management systems.
Electronic training, or “e-training,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not have direct face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
Online course sites like Udemy.com are strong indicators of the growth of the e-Training industry.
Udemy.com offers over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics, from business and personal skills, to courses on building healthy relationships and improving memory & study skills, etc …
(Udemy provides over 30,000 online courses covering all topics!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing and that so many subjects can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for individuals that have valuable educational content that can help transform the lives of others.
Online Training – Opportunities And Drawbacks
The internet provides benefits and opportunities for developing and selling online training courses, but there are also a number of drawbacks.:
- Figuring out methods of delivering training content,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that learners can use immediately to ,
- Ensuring consistency of standards used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student performance,
- Generating reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face interaction, lack of motivation, distractions, etc.
e-Courses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a digital product creator, creating courses that teach people practical things is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop a new stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about every subject where there is a strong interest and demand to learn can be taught online.
