Digital Natives vs. Digital Immigrants

Online education has quickly been adopted in the wake of the world’s most severe global pandemic in a millennium. More than a billion students have been impacted globally (approximately 60+% of learners). Further, eLearning adoption, especially at the university and college level, has grown significantly as large schools have become a hot zone for COVID-19 spread and more and more learners registering in brick and mortar college and university programs declines. Even before COVID-19, The Best Colleges “2019 Online Education Trends Report” indicates that convenience and flexibility is the biggest reason for taking courses online. Since 2000, the growth of the eLearning sector is 900%, with more than $72.41 billion being invested into this sector from 2020-2024.
