Benefits of Online Courses
A You University online course provides the following benefits:
Reach Many More People – Your potential audience for your content reaches anyone with interest in your content and an internet connection, which is an ever-growing market.
Profitable – It is possible to profit from your very first class session of your You University course, making all subsequent courses even more profitable. For example, if you charge $300 for an online class and have 15 students, that $4500 revenue will more than cover the You University development fees and the annual cost to host your Moodle School.
If you or you your content is in demand, you can charge well over $300 for a course. There is no limit to how many classes of a course you can run, and thus no limit to how many students you can teach. So there is tremendous profit potential from these courses.
Saves Money on Travel – Online courses provide a less expensive and greener solution to training employees. A huge expense in training is the travel to get learners to and from classrooms and the hotel expenses to put them up while they are there. Online courses will eliminate this travel and thus the expenses and greenhouse gases associated with it.
Manage Learners – Online courses provide detailed and instantaneous ways to track learners, leading to better accountability. Moodle allows instructors to see the learners’ performance on online tests, and when and for how long they logged into the course. Thus, organizations can quickly use this up-to-date data to gauge if learners are participating in a course, at what level they are participating, and if they are reaching a course’s instructional goals.
Flexible – We all have such busy lives. One advantage of online courses is that they are flexible and can be taken on a learner’s schedule. For example, if a non-profit depends on its ability to educate its members and volunteers, flexibility is essential. Holding a class session or a webinar on a Wednesday night or a Saturday morning only allows a small fraction of the members to attend because of other obligations. With online courses, they can take and complete a course at times convenient to their schedule.
