Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are now finding new opportunities to profit from areas like online training and education.
Electronic learning, or “e-learning,” is is the modern equivalent of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
e-Training sites like Udemy.com are indicative of the tremendous growth of the eTraining industry.
Udemy offers 30,000+ online courses covery every subject imaginable, from design and building self-esteem, to better parenting and hobbies, etc …
(Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have unique information that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Opportunities And Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of developing ecourses include:
- Figuring out delivery methods,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that students can use immediately to start learning,
- Ensuring consistency of standards used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading student performance,
- Generating useful reports, certificates of completion
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors such as the lack of face-to-face contact, lack of student motivation, loss of focus, etc.
e-Courses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your web presence, creating ecourses that help people gain practical knowledge and skills is a great way to grow a list or monetize your website. Product creation is one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every topic where there is a strong interest and demand to learn can be turned into an ecourse.
(Got a passion for commercial photography, landscaping or copywriting? Turn it into an elearning product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch is very time-consuming. If you have been online for a while, however, you already have loads of useful content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new online training product.
If your website is powered by WordPress and you want to create etraining products, there’s a cost-effective and powerful plugin that can help you.
