The emergence of virtual schools is the key driver of the market. The market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing digitization of learning and development in technology-leveraged industries. Virtual schools, a key component of this market, are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in developed countries like the US and the UK. These institutions utilize advanced cognitive learning technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), to provide learning experiences. Digital textbooks, cybersecurity measures for student information and accounting, and instructor-led training solutions are also integral parts of virtual schools. The shift towards e-learning is driven by the need for functional and vocational expertise, language proficiency, and soft skills development.
Delivery modes and learning modes, including K-12, higher education, and vocational training, are all being transformed through technology. Virtual communication tools, virtual labs, and simulated learning environments are enabling institutions to run effective and efficient virtual learning classrooms.
An increase in the adoption of microlearning is the upcoming trend in the market. In the era of digitization, learning and development have evolved significantly, with cognitive learning technologies playing a pivotal role in shaping new learning avenues. Microlearning, a modern approach to education, has gained prominence due to its personalized and adaptive nature. This learning methodology splits entire courses into small, digestible pieces, typically consisting of videos, audio, texts, or infographics. These sessions are usually 5-10 minutes long, making them ideal for today's fast-paced world. Microlearning extends beyond video sessions, incorporating quizzes, games, and just-in-time content delivery to cater to diverse learning styles. Microlearning caters to various industries, including technology-leveraged sectors like accounting, student information, and training solutions, by offering concise and relevant content.
It addresses the knowledge gap in areas such as language proficiency, functional expertise, and vocational expertise. Furthermore, microlearning supports various delivery modes and learning modes, including instructor-led, K-12, higher education, and vocational training. Despite its benefits, microlearning faces challenges, such as cybersecurity attacks, which vendors must address to ensure secure delivery of content.
Challenges associated with the use of IT infrastructure is a key challenge affecting market growth. The e-learning infrastructure market experiences significant growth due to the digitization of learning and development in technology-leveraged industries. Cognitive learning technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), Digital textbooks, and instructor-led training solutions, have become essential learning avenues for students and professionals seeking functional and vocational expertise. However, the market's expansion is hindered by inadequate IT infrastructure in several educational institutions. Internet connectivity, cloud services, and cybersecurity are crucial components of a vital e-learning infrastructure. Institutions must invest in these technologies to ensure optimal benefits from e-learning devices.
