Challenge
High development costs associated with e-learning courses are one of the factors hindering the Europe e-learning market. The development and design cost of e-learning courses depend upon the instructional design model chosen. For instance, the language course designed for children includes basic words and video graphics, whereas, for students at higher education levels, it includes more short lectures and direct conversations with tutors. The development process involves the roles of subject matter experts (SMEs), instructional design team, project management team, and technical staff specialists.
However, on average, the cost associated with the production of online course content for an hour will be around USD 18,000. E-learning courses are required to be updated on a regular basis to meet the changing technologies and market trends and to sustain competition in the growing Europe - e-learning market. Regular updates on the existing e-learning courses with additional information and training models increase the investments over time. Therefore, the high development cost associated with e-learning courses is likely to slow down the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
