COVID-19 Impacts:
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the e-learning market with the closure of schools and universities globally. In March 2020, over 1.2 billion students in 186 countries were affected by school closures due to the pandemic. The e-learning market has witnessed significant growth in the past few years. Moreover, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market witnessed a sudden boost in 2020. This is attributed to the implementation of various skill enhancement campaigns by governments in the majority of the countries and businesses across the globe. The e-learning industry is projected to prosper in the COVID-19 situation owing to an increase in investment in skill assessment technology for better understanding of the employees on an emotional and cultural scale. Furthermore, to sustain in the competitive market, the majority of EdTech have shifted toward digitalization to provide online services, helping employees and students to compare their skill levels and choose the right options and offers to carry out assessment processes online. It has become clear that COVID-19 would have long-term impacts on lives and economies by increasing the demand for e-learning, with a rise in demand for skilled labor and growth in government effort to elevate the overall worker level, which positively impacts the growth of the market. Employee safety concerns have prompted corporations to implement work-from-home policies in order to continue day-to-day operations. This has created barriers for companies in terms of training, communication, monitoring progress, and up-skilling, supporting the demand for e-learning platforms among large enterprises and SMEs. To cater to the growing demand, several companies are focusing on developing customized learning solutions. For instance, in April 2021, LinkedIn Corporation announced its plans for an online portal designed for enterprises to provide their staff with training videos and materials on subjects such as management strategy and machine learning.
