e-Learning – Opportunities And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing training courses online include:

- Employing familiar tools that course students can instinctively use to start learning,
- Ensuring consistent standards are applied throughout content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Grading scores,
- Creating useful reports, certificates of completion
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors like lack of human contact, learner boredom, distractions, etc.
e-Training – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a product creator, creating an e-course that helps people acquire the skills they need to advance further is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your industry or niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be taught online.
