E-learning and how teachers can benefit from it?

E-learning concept

The usage of e-learning methods has become a common feature of modern education. Whether it is academic or individuals learning specific skills in order to succeed in the job market.

E-learning is defined as the virtual learning process that takes place via electronic technologies through a phone or computer.  Also, it is not tied to a specific place or time. If it is prepared by a highly qualified team e-learning is superior to traditional education as in some well-known international platforms such as Udemy, for example.

E-learning Types:

1.   Synchronous E-learning

It means that the trainer and trainee are present simultaneously through special techniques for video chat, or what is known as live sessions. That the tow parts interact to follow up the educational course and participate in any questions or inquiries by the learner; in addition to following up directly by the trainer.

Here, it requires agreement on a specific time between the trainer and the students to start chatting, whether by text, audio, or video to complete the educational process.

2.           Asynchronous E-Learning

The process of E-learning does not take place in real-time. Therefore, the presence of the teacher and the students is not required at the same time.

The educational material is recorded as in the training courses on the various websites. They are located on specialized websites and provide the ability to learn at any time and place chosen by the learner. 

 An educational course is purchased and paid for electronically, such as on the foreign Coursera platform and the Arab Udysa platform.

3.            Hybrid E-Learning

Also known as blended e-Learning, it is learning environment that allows for both asynchronous education and synchronous education interaction. 

The interaction between the student and the trainer occurs simultaneously with the training course, which will be recorded to be used later by the student alone.

How does a trainer or teacher benefit from e-learning?

Powerful websites will help you promote your courses. Therefore, your choice of the platform in which you offer your training courses is very important in reaching potential customers for more profits.

Tips to Achieve the Largest Possible Return of Profits for the Trainer in the E-learning Process:

 1. Choosing the appropriate platform in terms of the number of visitors and customers, as well as the commission that it requires from you to provide your courses.

2. Choosing the right price by searching for competitors’ prices in the market in the same field you offer.

3. Proper and correct promotion of the training courses you offer.

4. Seek the availability of a Certificate of Completion of the Course; Learners look for a certification of their courses as proof of skill learning and when applying for a specific job.

5. It is recommended to make a free mini-course to provide initial and attractive information before launching the basic course that you want to sell.

7. Select the type of content that is appropriate for your field, whether text, audio, or video-recorded; For example, a web design and programming trainer need visual content to be explained in the training course s/he offers.

8. Organize the content that you will provide in e-learning and mention the points or lessons included in the training course in points. Thus, the trainee will be able to know what they will learn about when they purchase the training course. Therefore, an organized and attractive method is used for marketing the content and courses that you provide to the trainees.

Be smart and share with other trainers in investing your mastered skills to benefit others and earn profits while creating your own course. Plan and consult a suitable person you trust and start your e-training journey.
