How Has COVID-19 Impacted The Online Learning Industry?

In late 2019, I wrote a report on the future of the adult learning industry.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic made dramatic impacts to the education sector from February 2020 onwards – causing a huge surge in the popularity of online learning.

And it’s only just the beginning of this booming industry.

The online education sector has been dramatically increasing in popularity particularly over the past 5 years as distance, blended and self-study online learning has become mainstream and familiar.

The online education industry was predicted to triple between 2020 and 2025, but with the impacts of COVID causing a tidal wave of e-learning demand, the sector is reporting this level of growth already since January 2020 alone.
