But do you need it?
Hold up; before you run out and try to get yourself in on the e-learning action, you should decide if it’s really for you. It can be a bit confusing; even though e-learning is much cheaper to deliver than regular brick-and-mortar classroom teaching, developing it may be initially more expensive. Besides that, you’re not sure if you have the right audience for it yet. In Nigeria, your target audience/student base might not even have access to computers!
