Online education, also known as e-learning, is a teaching system that does not employ traditional classroom settings but instead delivers instruction through online or electronic methods. The network-enabled transmission of skills and knowledge is another name for online education. Several global corporations frequently use it to give their personnel training and intensive courses.

Internet penetration has increased dramatically across the country as infrastructure and technology have developed, allowing individuals and businesses to reach new heights. Throughout the digital disruption, the education sector has outperformed other industries by offering remote learning courses to students of all ages. Many students use online education technology to fulfil their educational needs without having to leave their homes, workplaces, or communities since it is a practical and economical online tool that promotes the growth of the online education market. Additionally, the expansion of employment opportunities and skill development are the primary factors driving the market for online education. Students put a lot of attention on developing their skills in order to advance in their employment and learn more. It is therefore anticipated that the growing use of skill development through online diplomas on digitised platforms will accelerate the growth of the online education sector.

The most widely used technology in virtual classrooms are anticipated to be virtual reality and smartwatches. The capacity to readily distribute content is these technologies' main advantage. Smartwatches enable constant connectivity. Additionally, a smartwatch may be linked to other gadgets like cell phones, which makes online teaching easier for consumers. As a result, more manufacturers will incorporate these technologies into their product offerings over the course of the projection period, supporting market expansion.

However, the difficulty of upholding academic integrity in an online setting is a global issue, not just in Australia. The problem of cheating on online tests and the challenge of guaranteeing that the calibre of online education equals that of in-person learning are both present. Although organisations like TEQSA play a part in quality assurance, technology must advance as well in order to improve assessment administration and uphold validity. The expense of online education is another issue to take into account. A hurdle for low-income families may be the expense of technology, particularly devices and high-speed internet, despite the fact that online platforms provide more economical possibilities than traditional education. Grants and subsidies from the government might lessen this burden to some extent, but more all-encompassing solutions are needed to ensure that online education is available to everyone.

The rapidly spreading coronavirus has adversely impacted many industries, yet interestingly, despite the pandemic threat, the online education system has shown profitable growth potential. Market participants involved in the online education system seized the opportunity and launched a number of e-learning solutions. Due to the closure of numerous universities and institutions, the pandemic had a favourable effect on the online education and e-learning business. Large businesses have adopted e-learning platforms more frequently in an effort to continue providing education to students while these institutions are closed.
