The recent pandemic forced schools, colleges, universities, and different types of institutions to move online with instructors conducting lessons on various kinds of learning management systems (LMS). Needless to say, we saw an exponential growth in the industry of eLearning.

According to recent eLearning industry analysis, the eLearning market was worth $107 billion in 2015, $190 billion in 2018, and is expected to exceed $300 Billion by 2025.
