    What factors contribute to the industry’s growth?

    The increased internet penetration around the world is one of the factors contributing to the growth of virtual learning. The expanding telecom and broadband sector has increased access to cost-effective international connectivity plans.

    The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) reports strong global growth in Internet use, with an estimated 4.9 billion people using the Internet in 2021, up from 4.1 billion in 2019.

    Virtual learning enhances the educational experience by utilizing digital technology. It includes a wide range of tools such as online courses, content platforms, etc. These tools help in saving both money and time.

    There are many benefits of virtual learning for kids, but here are a few of the top ones:

                                                       1) Flexibility

    Flexibility

    Flexibility is a key feature of virtual learning because it allows students to study from anywhere in the world and complete assignments on their own time, which is especially beneficial for children who have busy or unconventional schedules.

                                         2) Customized learning

    Online education tailors the curriculum to the children’s needs, interests, skills, and strengths. This learning flexibility provides students with relevant learning resources, making it engaging and interesting. As a result, academic performance improves.

                                            3) Interactive learning

    Interactive Learning

    Online classes are smaller than traditional classrooms. Mostly, online learning platforms allow one student to participate at a time. When the focus is on a single student or a small group, there is more interaction and feedback between students and mentors.

                                             4) Self-paced learning

    Students can progress at their own pace in virtual learning, which can benefit children who need more time to understand certain concepts or are advanced learners.

    Convenience

    In virtual learning, the students do not have to travel to a physical location for instruction, which saves money and time. It also enables students to learn from the comfort of their own homes, increasing flexibility and convenience.

                                           8) Increased safety

    During pandemics such as COVID-19, virtual learning has been a safe way for children to continue their education without risking their health.

    Summing up

    According to a McKinsey report, between 2017 and 2021, US venture funding for education technology (edtech) increased from $1 billion to $8 billion. The public appetite for these investments was evident in the successful IPOs of several edtech companies in 2021, including Coursera (valued at more than $4 billion).

    Overall, virtual learning has numerous advantages for children and can provide them with opportunities for growth and development that they would not otherwise have. And the industry’s growth and investments indicate that it will be the future of education.

    In my experience, face-to-face learning can never get outdated.

    That’s true.. if you prefer personal interaction and practical learning, traditional classroom learning is always better fit.
