The arrival of online learning has opened up the world of education to people who previously felt shut out, as they have the chance to learn at their own pace and fit their classes around their existing work and family commitments. An increase in the number of people signing up to apprenticeships has also been fueled partly by the e-learning boom, as many of these individuals are supplementing their learning on the job with classes in their own time. Competency-based education is another growing trend across the sector, with this having roots in the US. The University of Wisconsin’s UW Flex and Capella University’s FlexPath are among the other most notable examples of learning establishments taking note of competency-based education and this is likely to continue to make waves in the coming years.
