The Move to E-learning Is Heating Up

NEW YORK, March 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Inexorable forces are propelling the growth of e-learning at a blistering pace. Online-learning markets were ignited by high education costs, business training programs and a wave of tech innovations, then scorching pandemic demand turned the market into an inferno. The market has legs far beyond the pandemic with constant requests coming from businesses, universities and K-12 schools, eager to train and upskill workers. Little wonder a myriad of companies look to gain traction in the space since the online education market that stood at just $144 billion in 2019 is expected to catapult past $374 billion by 2026. Even more astounding is that these stellar-growth projections are pre-pandemic numbers, and market estimates should easily blow past current forecasts. However, to deliver e-learning that works, tech platforms must address and meet the widely disparate needs of individual schools and varied businesses. A one-size-fits-all approach is doomed to fail when trying to educate, especially in a virtual venue. There's a critical need for tailored programs as well as wholesale improvement in the way content is created and delivered. Technology innovator Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST) (Profile) has established a new paradigm in e-learning. The company has created what is arguably the most advanced artificial intelligence driven online learning platform in the entire industry. With the capacity to upload an organization's entire training and educational materials into a single point of access, Amesite's customizable SaaS (software-as-a-service) platform is engaging, easy to use and delivers concrete measurable results. The company's cloud-based platform and content creation services uniquely provide fully managed learning environments that easily integrate and work for business, universities, and K-12 schools. Taking a different tack, Chegg Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) operates direct-to-student learning platforms as well as provides digital textbook rentals, online tutoring and other student services. SaaS behemoth Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) offers a portfolio of business training applications and Office 365 Education for students, faculty and staff to meet virtually, create content and share resources. This transformation of the education experience is made possible by technology from companies such as Cloudflare Inc. Class A (NYSE: NET), which protects and accelerates internet applications online without adding hardware or installing software, and Zoom Video Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM), which easily connects people through frictionless video, voice, chat and content sharing across multiple devices and diverse locations.

• Eye-popping e-learning growth is projected — even post pandemic.
• Revolution in education as sophisticated AI platforms deliver results that work.
• Amesite is leading the industry with award-winning tech platform.
• Disruptive SaaS platform delivers for education and learning needs in schools and business.

e-learning + SaaS

There's no doubt the e-learning market is booming, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms are marching in tandem. In the highly lucrative SaaS business model, software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. Each new customer presents a long-term recurring revenue opportunity, and most SaaS companies achieve eye-popping gross margins in the 70%–80% range. In the last 10 years, SaaS adoption has surged, and e-learning looks to be the next frontier. Customers are flocking to cloud-based SaaS platforms that provide more flexible, reliable services without the headaches of developing or maintaining expensive in-house software. Nearly all the 10.5% growth in software spending that Gartner predicted for 2020 was in cloud-based SaaS. After almost a decade of growth in the SaaS industry, there's still plenty of runway in the SaaS market for record growth in the next few years and the e-learning market is likely to accelerate the trend.
