E-learning and blended learning are growing around the globe. E-learning has expanded significantly since the late 1800s as tools have enabled learning between instructors and learners separated by distance and time. It now offers diverse learners unlimited resources. E-learning is increasingly common in schools, public universities, and for-profit universities. While early online programs faced issues, e-learning can provide innovative, engaging, and personalized learning when done well. It allows acquiring new skills to be knowledgeable and productive citizens.
