Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are now finding new opportunities to profit from areas like providing teaching and training courses online and elearning management systems.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
Online training marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the e-Training industry is growing at an astronomical rate year on year.
Udemy provides over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics, from marketing and personal development, to happiness and making better lifestyle choices, etc …
(Udemy.com offers 30,000+ e-courses covering every subject imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to acquire useful skills, but also for individuals that have something unique that can help transform the lives of others.
eTraining – Benefits And Challenges
Some of the drawbacks of planning ecourses include:
- Working out the best training content delivery method,
- Using familiar tools and technologies that course students can instinctively use to get trained,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Assessing scores,
- Providing reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of human contact, student boredom, distractions, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are trying to expand your web presence, creating an ecourse that helps people acquire practical knowledge is a great way to grow a subscriber list or monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to attract customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every imaginable subject can be turned into an e-course.
(Got a passion for photography, gardening or writing sales copy? Turn it into an e-learning 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 already have content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital training product.
If your website is built using WordPress and you want to create learning courses, there’s a cost-effective and powerful courseware solution that you need to know about.
