The surge in online education is predicted to spearhead the expansion of the personalized learning industry in the future. Online education involves the provision of educational content, tutoring, and assistance via digital tech and the internet. Its growth is attributed to its availability, adaptability and economic feasibility, which allows students to learn at a pace and location that suits them. It supports personalized learning by providing teachers with the necessary tools, adaptability, and framework to enhance student participation and success. Personalized learning enables online students to follow tailor-made learning routes based on their current knowledge, abilities, and educational objectives. For example, Eurostat, a government agency based in Luxembourg, reported in January 2024, that there was an increase in online education participation in 2023 compared to 2022, with 30% of users between the ages of 16 to 74 having completed an online course or utilized online learning resources within the last three months preceding the survey. This shows an increase of 2 percentage points (pp) compared to 2022 (28%). Hence, the rise in online education is fueling the expansion of the personalized learning industry.
