Video tutorials
For the course to be successful, it needs to be of high quality. And for this, at the start of the project, it is necessary to invest a lot of effort and money, since filming, voiceover, editing, color correction and other actions require the involvement of qualified specialists.

The advantage of this format of training is that you don’t have to waste time on travel and performances. All you need to do is make a quality video and sell access to it. Any topic can be clearly covered in videos.
The learning process is skype database based on the principle of "watch and repeat". The disadvantage of video lessons is the lack of feedback, so if you want to check students' homework, analyze their mistakes in detail, then you should develop communication channels. This can be organized using Skype, video conferences or discussions on social networks.
Electronic courses
An e-course is a symbiosis of the best ideas implemented in other formats. Its program may include lectures, videos, infographics, music, text or an interactive game.
For example, Dmitry Yakushev, the founder of the Excel Academy school, uses a distance learning format to teach clients basic skills in MS Excel. In particular, his electronic course with video fragments helps prepare for an interview on Excel, master 23 formulas, and also check your level of knowledge using various tests.
Similar courses are created from PowerPoint presentations in the iSpring Suite application. It works as follows: first, the Suite is installed on a personal computer, after which a separate tab appears in PowerPoint. You can add all the necessary materials to the presentation - text, audio, video, slides. The finished presentation is an electronic course, which is either uploaded to the site or sent to clients by email.
The advantage of training in this format is the ability to combine materials in different formats. This way the topic is covered most fully.

Webinars
This format is a regular seminar, like offline lessons, only in online mode. The teacher gives a lecture to students who are in different cities or countries, without leaving their apartment.

Webinars
For example, the online university Skillbox, well-known for its TV advertising, offers training in marketing, design, project management and SEO promotion through webinars. The company Yandex prepares schoolchildren for the OGE and the USE, with classes taught by teachers from leading Russian universities.
The advantages of webinars are time saving. There is no need to search for and rent premises, no need to waste time on travel, but there is an opportunity to train people from different cities. This format also implies the presence of feedback, which is very important for some categories of clients.
