The need for better education quality and experience has also contributed to this demand. The proliferation of online education enterprises and increased venture capital funding has disrupted the market. Finally, online education is evolving rapidly, with Virtual and Augmented Reality for learners and AI and machine learning for the back end.

United States Online Education Market

Online education, also called distance learning, enables studying in the U.S. remotely. U.S. institutions offer full-time undergraduate and graduate programs and individual courses through various means like websites, mobile apps, email, and telephones. Students typically pay tuition fees to receive credits from U.S. institutions for distance learning. American students can now access a digital toolkit comprising online courses, textbooks, educational websites, videos, games, quizzes, and even artificial intelligence (AI) to enrich their learning experience. Educational institutions increasingly rely on educational technology for monitoring student activity, managing courses, grading, and fostering communication among educators, students, and families.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated ed-tech adoption as schools and colleges shifted to online learning. Post-pandemic, edtech is poised to play a significant role in U.S. education. In 2023, many higher education courses remain partially online, and K-12 schools access an average of over 2,500 ed-tech tools per district, a substantial increase from previous years.
