But wait there is more:-
Facilitating an online environment has its own set of characteristics and challenges for the trainer.
When designing online learning, it's more important to drive it from the learning challenge rather than the technology perspective. You also need to design for student activity rather than delivery of content. Unlike a classroom setting, all the materials need to be prepared and structured in advance as you cannot "fill" as you would in a classroom environment.
You want the elearning experince to be enjoyable and positive. A lot more work goes into planning and preparing an online learning exerience (maybe up to 20 times more work) but then it is used many times over. So you as the presenter prepare it once and it is delivired many times, so it can certainly be worth the effort.
