helping to drive staggering growth in the worldwide e-learning
market.
As of 2020, the e-learning market was at $250 billion, according to
market research firm Global

growth rate of 21 percent through 2027, to hit $1 trillion. That includes

North America, primarily the United States, accounted for more than
35 percent of e-learning revenues, according to a 300-page report released
