Online
education is becoming more and more mainstream – there’s no question about
that. But is it going to keep increasing in popularity, or will there be a move
back towards classroom learning? Or maybe something different altogether?
While the
future of education on the whole is pretty hard to predict with so many things
happening in the education realm, we can look at this handy infographic below,
which shows us some statistics about online education, which we can use to make
predictions for the future!
