Thank you all for taking the time to add your thoughts and comments. Since I had the fun task of reading through all of the comments, I decided that I would just make a new Top 10 List from all of the submitted comments. These are in no particular order – but they are all great! 1. **Daniel Albarran** – The assumption that all that is necessary for creating a course is in the manuals, slides, PDFs, etc (raw documentation). 2. **Scott Nipper** – Managers that say, "Just video tape John talking - people will learn from that." 3. **Paul Safyan** – Being limited by or enamored by certain technology, rather than doing good design. 4. **Jennifer** – Requests for the overuse of e-learning bells and whistles. 5. **Lisa P** – Having stakeholders not see the value in e-learning and not want to invest the money to get a quality product. 6. **Yuna **– Rampant objectives. I find lots of courses have a laundry list of objectives that seem to eclipse the final actual goal of the course.  7. **Sylvia** – Business reviewers who don't provide timely reviews that they committed to at the beginning of the project thereby delaying the project. 8. **Amy** – The large skill set required. Often designers have to be developers, instructional designers, graphics artists, tech support, SMEs, technical writers, proofers, etc! 9. **Kara** – I usually hear “We can’t do a CBT. Our employees hate them.” 10. **Tim Johnston** – Content developers who have too many other responsibilities to have the time to create high quality content within the deadline. Note:  Sure looks like there could be a blog post or two in this list of e-learning challenges. Maybe your comment will be the inspiration of an upcoming post! Thanks again everyone. ![Richard Sites](https://blog.alleninteractions.com/hs-fs/file-29738288-png/images/RichardPortraitTight.png?width=135&height=135&name=RichardPortraitTight.png) ## About the Author: Richard Sites ## Comments ## Would you like to leave a comment? ## Related Blog Posts ![](https://blog.alleninteractions.com/hs-fs/file-5413461-jpg/images/rsites_1801.jpg?width=316&name=rsites_1801.jpg) Blog [Top 10 List of the Biggest e-Learning Challenges](https://blog.alleninteractions.com/bid/90090/Top-10-List-of-the-Biggest-e-Learning-Challenges) by Richard Sites, vice president of client services | @rhillsites What a great response!!
