Is e-learning for you?


So there’s plenty of ways in which you can contribute to the e-learning revolution, whether you create your own materials or add value to someone else’s. But that doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily enjoy this change of direction. Although many of your existing skills and qualities will be useful to you when working online, you may find the lack of face-to-face contact with learners leaves you feeling deprived.

If you’re already more of a learning designer than a deliverer, then you’ll probably have no trouble in making the transition to the development of e-learning materials. However, many up-front trainers will not find the required attention to detail, individual working, analytical and creative thinking is really for them.

E-tutoring may seem a more logical direction for the classroom trainer. The regular contact with individual learners may satisfy the need for human interaction, but remember this will largely be in text and in many cases you will never meet your learners face-to-face. Cold turkey may set in when you’re deprived of the buzz of ‘being on stage’.

Although the world of e-learning may not provide a happy home for all trainers, many will find rewarding new career and business opportunities. Some may leave the training business, others will join, bringing with them new skills and perspectives. Training will be the richer for it.
