The problem in e-learning is due to the complexity and deploying new approaches as the training modules. It usually involves different types of expertise, mixed in the training environment including multiple disciplines and hence brings out concerns.

A discussion group is a very competent way to supply expert answers to a large group people. A single answer to a common question can reduce hassle to trainer in many ways. Most companies prefer to use a mix of both synchronous and asynchronous e-learning methods according to their requirement. A new form of learning known as blended learning is emerging. As the name suggests it is an amalgamation of synchronous and asynchronous learning methods.
