Instead, businesses and educational organizations have gone digital. And this widespread action is just one example of a much broader shift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u00a0rise\u00a0of e-Learning platforms, whether in the form of popular course websites or online student areas with lecture replays, seems to be an unstoppable trend. In this post, we\u2019re going to\u00a0take a look\u00a0at five specific ways that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"eLearning is shaping the business and education sectors (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/online-learning-shaping-future-higher-education\/\" target=\"_blank\">e-Learning is shaping the business and education sectors<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The e-Learning industry is growing at a\u00a0breath-taking\u00a0pace\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e-Learning is any form of teaching delivered using electronic technology, most often via the internet. And few sectors have seen faster growth. The e-Learning market is expected to\u00a0exceed 240 billion by 2023.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This growth is driven by a range of factors, including efficiency gains for companies and benefits for students. Sometimes necessity is also&nbsp;a factor, as everyone will know from the last few weeks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are five&nbsp;key&nbsp;points to keep in mind:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. e-Learning drives business efficiency\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies that opt to train employees using e-Learning platforms see\u00a0a number of\u00a0benefits. Studies have shown that online learning\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.docebo.com\/blog\/boost-employee-productivity-elearning-investments\/\" target=\"_blank\">requires up to 40% less time than in-person training<\/a>\u00a0and that e-Learning programs lead to significant productivity gains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many proposed reasons for these outcomes.\u00a0In particular, employees\u00a0are free to consume materials in their own time, review and re-watch lessons, and can engage with interactive elements. But whatever the causes, the corporate and educational benefits are undeniable. In one study\u00a0which asked\u00a0companies\u00a0if e-Learning had led to increased profits,\u00a0nearly half answered yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Schools and universities are embracing e-Learning\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Educational organizations are also\u00a0integrating e-Learning into their programs and syllabuses. Notably, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/online.euruni.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">distance learning<\/a> has\u00a0grown significantly in popularity\u00a0over the last few years, with more students enrolled in programs than ever\u00a0before.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital course materials have enabled universities to cut costs, making programs available to a wider audience while giving students the freedom and flexibility to work when they want.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. It enables organizations to make data-driven improvements to course materials&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e-Learning platforms allow organizations to collect fast, reliable data about employee and student progress in a way that isn\u2019t possible with traditional methods. Crucially, this makes it possible for teachers to identify individuals that may be struggling and intervene early.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analytics tools also enable course creators to see which training materials are working effectively; both in terms of engagement and learning outcomes, and which are falling short. This ability to pinpoint poorly performing content and test alternatives makes&nbsp;it possible to make incremental, continuous improvements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/online-elearning.jpg\" alt=\"online elearning\" class=\"wp-image-27973\" width=\"811\" height=\"540\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. e-Learning has a large consumer market\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e-Learning&#8217;s market share isn\u2019t limited to the corporate and educational spaces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Udemy, Masterclass, Lynda.com &#8211; all are examples of business-to-consumer e-Learning platforms. The popular market for self-contained, low-investment courses is continuing to grow. And many online course companies have received\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tjmccue\/2018\/07\/31\/e-learning-climbing-to-325-billion-by-2025-uf-canvas-absorb-schoology-moodle\/#1dfaa0ba3b39\" target=\"_blank\">tens of millions of dollars<\/a>\u00a0in funding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. It leverages cutting-edge science to enable faster, more effective training&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e-Learning is at the forefront of educational sciences. Many platforms and course creators are starting to leverage techniques like gamification, quizzes, progress-tracking and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studies have shown that these kinds of strategies lead to&nbsp;better learning outcomes&nbsp;like increased engagement and higher productivity. Course builders&nbsp;are able to&nbsp;take advantage of a range of technological tools to \u201ctune in\u201d into human predispositions. Thereby bolstering motivation, retention, and performance in ways that otherwise wouldn\u2019t have been possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interested in a career at the forefront of business?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e-Learning is just one of many innovations shaping the corporate and educational space. If new technologies like this excite you, then a career in business is an option worth considering.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But whether you\u2019d like to&nbsp;pursue&nbsp;a career in tech or have something else in mind&nbsp;or starting your own business, an online program can help you to achieve&nbsp;your&nbsp;goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Euonline349_Revision-1.jpg\" alt=\"online learning tips and advice\" class=\"wp-image-28133\" width=\"777\" height=\"1100\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interactive Online Learning&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>From<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;EU Business School<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At EU Business School&nbsp;(EU)&nbsp;we offer a range of online programs, from&nbsp;bachelor\u2019s&nbsp;to MBAs, to&nbsp;accelerate&nbsp;your career.
