Here are some guidelines when delivering e-learning courses: Know your audience It is important to identify your audience and to be sensitive to the needs and interests of your audience. Good e-learning courses should integrate and present learning materials in diverse media such as text, image, sound, and video with sufficient learner-content interactivity and flexibility. If only text-based learning materials are used to develop such courses, then they may lead to boredom and disengagement in students and prevent them from gaining a good understanding of a topic. If e-learning courses are not designed and delivered well, they will result in frustration, confusion, and reduced learner interest.
