Knowledge, Learning, Community

The main statistic to me is that this thing that in 1995 we needed to prove was even viable is in 2015 growing steadily and becoming ubiquitous. Some snapshot figures (quoted from the article):

  • The global eLearning Market is expected to reach $107 billion by 2015
  • Self-paced eLearning market should see estimated revenues of $49.9 billion in 2015
  • The LMS market is expected to (be) worth approximately $4 billion in 2015 and over $7 billion in 2018
  • The worldwide mobile learning market in 2015 will reach $8.7 billion
  • The online corporate market is expected to grow by 13% per year up to 2017
  • 8% of companies use MOOCs, while another 7% consider to experiment with MOOCs. It is predicted that in the following two years this percentage will rise to 28%

That's not bad for a couple of decade's work.
