What is the greatest challenge to online learning?
The most difficult thing is to keep students engaged through the course. If they are not interested in what you're teaching them, then how do you expect them to learn anything? The best way to ensure your students stay focused is to give them many choices. This allows students to pick which modules and chapters they want, how many exercises they want, what tests they want, and which assignments they want.
What should an eLearning program look like?

To ensure that your eLearning course meets these requirements, you need to focus on three things:
Content
First, decide what content you want in your eLearning course. It is important to determine how long each part of the course should be. If you are teaching someone how to write letters, you will need to determine how long you want each topic to take.
Navigation
Your second major decision to make is how your learners want to navigate your course. Do you want your learners to navigate through the course one page at a time? Do you want them to skip to the most important parts?
Design
You must decide how you want the course to look. You need to determine how long each screen should take to load and what font size you should use. You must also decide whether you wish to include graphics (such photos).
Once you have made all these decisions, test your course to ensure it works.
