The famous Italian artist Michelangelo once said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m still learning.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This means that the learning process is a never-ending journey if a person wants to keep on growing. Thus, it\u2019s no wonder not only students but also workers pay attention to learning and development (L&D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of eLearning isn\u2019t new. The history of online education dates back to 1924 when the first testing machine was invented. It was the first device that allowed students to test themselves in a classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a lot has changed since then: there\u2019s no need to go to college and attend lessons to study subjects, gain knowledge, master skills, and discuss course-related matters. In plain English, physical presence doesn\u2019t matter anymore. In 2019, everything you need to study is at your fingertips: gadgets and connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more important,[pullquote]the new generation is here: colleges, universities, and companies should be ready for Gen Z, tech natives who use their devices every day.[\/pullquote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, isn\u2019t it the rise of eLearning? If you\u2019re unpersuaded by the above-mentioned ideas, also recall facts and statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the list of eLearning facts and\u00a0statistics everyone should know\u00a0in 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Modern Education Goes Digital<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Over the last few years, the educational system has changed a lot. Although most students believe in the importance of human interactions, face-to-face lessons go digital: Around\u00a0\u00bd of all classes<\/a>\u00a0are done online,\u00a0 5.8 million of American college and university students<\/a>\u00a0(almost 30% of the total number) are enrolled in some form of distance education, and\u00a0 50% of all higher education will be delivered online<\/a>\u00a0by the end of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in 2012, when massive open online courses (MOOCs) started gaining in popularity, there were just 5 options on the market. In 2018, over 900 universities around the world launched\u00a0 11.4k MOOCs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
What is more,\u00a0 67% of all students<\/a>\u00a0believe that video, blogs, and other online media are important teaching tools. Yes, online education comes in various forms and formats, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Webinars<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Podcasts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Flipped courses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Online courses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Educational apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Video games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
With a variety of these forms, it\u2019s no wonder that\u00a0 15.4% of students<\/a>\u00a0are enrolled exclusively online, and this number is kept on growing. Moreover, people are interested in machine learning disciplines like\u00a0few shot learning\u00a0and\u00a0IT professions\u00a0which means the importance of digital methods of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Mobile Learning is on the Rise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The days when your computer was the one effective way to take online courses are far behind us. Today, people can study on the go: With the growing number of mobile users (4.68 billion<\/a>), it\u2019s no wonder that mobile learning market is growing, too. It\u2019s predicted that it will reach\u00a0$38B by 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
For people, this means more opportunities to obtain knowledge with the help of their smartphones as companies launch more and more educational apps to suit their target audience even if they choose to\u00a0study acoustics. This also means that online learners are in charge of the educational process: Once you pick courses that interest you, do them in your spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. eLearning Saves Time and Money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSince students want to enjoy the college years for full, they try to save time with\u00a0time management apps for homework. However, online education allows students to save\u00a050%-70% of time and money. One study has analyzed the data from 448-course sales to find out that 77% of online courses fall within the\u00a0 $5-$250.00 range<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
With online courses, you ensure that the right person gets the right information at the right time, so it takes less time to obtain knowledge. On average, an online course is\u00a025-60% shorter\u00a0than classroom training on the same subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is more, the world-known universities offer a great variety of online courses for free which means every person can enroll in a course to gain knowledge. Who else wants to save time and money? eLearning is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.\u00a0Self-Improvement Market Grows<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The educational process is not just about college students; it\u2019s also about modern workers who believe in the power of learning and development for personal and career growth. In fact,\u00a0 87% of people<\/a>\u00a0believe that having professional development or career growth opportunities is important to their decision of whether to stay or go. And for\u00a068% of workers, learning and development is the most important workplace policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? The job market is searching for smart, innovative, and\u00a0creative\u00a0workers who can stand one step ahead of their competitors. Thus, online education helps people obtain knowledge and improve professional skills, and therefore stay competitive in the market. What is more,\u00a0 58% of employees<\/a>\u00a0want to learn at their own pace, so online education is right for them. Thus, it\u2019s no wonder that\u00a080% of people\u00a0saw an increase in demand for online courses in 2018:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
5.\u00a0Online Education Adapts to Lifestyle Better<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
College years are wonderful: You attend lectures, meet new friends, take part in out of class activities. Although the traditional ways of learning work well for most students, they won\u2019t suit the needs of students who want to keep a work-life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to one study by Best Colleges,\u00a059% of students\u00a0surveyed claim that they are employed and have children, so it\u2019s no wonder that over\u00a0 50% of U.S. students<\/a>\u00a0are returning to education after work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could study in your spare time? With eLearning, it\u2019s no longer a dream. M-learners have an opportunity to\u00a0study right in bed: 52% of people study after waking up and 46% of m-learners do it before going to sleep. Thus, it\u2019s no wonder that\u00a0 60% of respondents<\/a>\u00a0report that online courses fit their personal schedule\/lifestyle better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6.\u00a0eLearning Improves Retention Rates and Grades<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want to get better grades, you have to understand the subject well. And the understanding of the subject depends on college attendance. Attending classes helps to get in-depth knowledge as it gives you another perspective on the material besides the books. Once you miss a class, it can be harder for you to understand the material which may lead to worse grades or a dropout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what\u2019s the solution?\u00a0eLearning<\/strong>, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For first-time degree-seeking students who have enrolled at 4-year degree-granting institutions, the average retention rate is\u00a081%<\/a>. However, providing students with in-person and online courses institutions can lead to\u00a0 higher retention and graduation rates<\/a>\u00a0(by 9-10%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
If you want to solidify your understanding of the subject, you can give online courses a try. [tweetthis]Elearning is a great way to work on your gaps and get a better understanding of a topic. [\/tweetthis]. The bottom line? Taking online courses in community colleges helps students be better prepared and more motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7.\u00a0Online Education Guarantees Higher Engagement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A\u00a0 Gallup student poll<\/a>\u00a0has found that student engagement decreases in nearly every progressive grade level: just 34% of Grade 12 students feel engaged. In other words, it\u2019s harder to engage older students in the educational process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there\u2019s a way out: Modern students love interactive educational concepts, so they are more likely to take an online course that offers educational methods that engage (videos, gamification, quizzes, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any proof needed? One\u00a0 research by Livestream<\/a>\u00a0has revealed that 68% of teachers claim video content stimulates discussions and 61% believe it\u2019s preferred by students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want to know more?\u00a0 90% of students<\/a>\u00a0believe eLearning is better than traditional classroom experience and\u00a089% of them\u00a0would recommend online education, so it goes without saying that it stimulates student engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
8. Distance Education Gets Popular among Adults<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Being a well-rounded person is trendy these days. People want to obtain knowledge and master skills, and it\u2019s never too late to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case in point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guadalupe Palacios<\/a>\u00a0was 92 when she enrolled in a literacy program.\u00a0 Maureen Matthews<\/a>\u00a0started a three-year law degree at the age of 79.\u00a0 Vinnie Dean Walker<\/a>\u00a0was the oldest student ever to graduate from Sinclair Community College at the age of 89.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Online education is not just for young students; more and more adult learners give it a try. With the rise of online education, it\u2019s easier for lifelong learners to improve skills and gain knowledge these days. \u00a0According to\u00a0Online Education Trends Report, 37% of school administrators note a trend toward older students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Around\u00a0 40.9% of students<\/a>\u00a0enrolled in some form of distance education are 30+ years of age: eLearning helps older students gain knowledge at their own pace without being judged by others. So, isn\u2019t it perfect for lifelong learners?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. AI Improves Student Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Today, Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important part of our lives, and it also has an impact on the educational industry. A recent US Education Sector report says that AI in U.S. education is predicted to\u00a0 grow by 47.5%<\/a>\u00a0from 2017-2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? When studying offline, students should keep up with classmates. However, each student has his\/her own strengths, skills, interests, and needs. Thus, it\u2019s important to personalize learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to online education, most teachers agree that the artificial intelligence (AI) trend helps to improve student experience (64%) and personalize learning (60%), according to the\u00a0 University Business survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
With the help of AI, students can get the best possible assistance: Teachers can provide students with quick feedback. All in all, it allows teachers to find an individual approach to every student, and therefore trigger interest, encourage student engagement, and improve grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The List of Online Courses for STEM Students<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
