eLearning is a diverse and far-reaching field. While eLearning developers work in a variety of environments, few have examined self-employment, and by extension entrepreneurship, as a viable career option. Fear of failure, lack of information on how to start a business, and, perhaps most striking, lack of understanding of the huge opportunity for eLearning developers has led to few eLearning developers taking advantage of opportunities that exist.
