Online Higher Education Market in the US: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The collaborations between enterprises and educational institutions is notably driving the online higher education market growth in the US, although factors such as designing e-learning courses may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the online higher education industry in the US. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Online Higher Education Market Driver in the US

The collaborations between enterprises and educational institutions is one of the key drivers supporting the online higher education market growth in the US. Although such collaborations can take numerous forms, the most common are training, partnerships, or R&D partnerships. For instance, IBM-Charlotte was designed by the University of North Carolina-Charlotte (UNC-Charlotte) and IBM with the aim of enhancing the university's technical vitality, expanding its local personnel resource bank, and ultimately offering IBM's technical communicators a way of earning degrees in their field of work. For UNC-Charlotte, the relationship with IBM gave its developing Technical Communication program community support and visibility and simultaneously provided faculty with research opportunities and practical experience at the workplace. Such collaborations are driving the growth of the online higher education market in the US during the forecast period.

Key Online Higher Education Market Trend in the US

Increased use of wearable gadgets is another factor supporting the online higher education market growth in the US. Technologies such as augmented reality (AR) are also changing the learning experience of participants. 3D simulations and scenarios that are developed using wearable technology devices give users a chance to learn in different learning environments. Moreover, the theoretical explanation of various concepts and step-by-step training on operations in an organization, followed by familiarizing students with on-the-floor working environments, are time-consuming. Therefore, wearable technology devices can help universities or educational institutions to engage with students directly on the floor. This reduces the duration and makes students more comfortable with online learning. Thus, the affordable prices of wearable gadgets will foster their greater adoption, in turn fostering the growth of the online higher education market in the US

Key Online Higher Education Market Challenge in the US

Designing e-learning courses is one of the factors hindering the online higher education market growth in the US. A significant amount of time, money, and resources are needed for developing the content for online courses. On average, moderately interactive online content takes about 90-240 hours to develop and costs developers approximately $10,000 per produced hour for moderate-level content. Similarly, the cost keeps rising as the complexity of the content increases. The major factors impacting the cost incurred on creating online education content are the resources needed, the state of the source content, the elements embedded in the online content, and the interactivity and instructional complexities involved. Therefore, this is a challenging factor for the growth of the online higher education market in the US.
