The evolution of 5G continues to fulfill its complete transformational potential. It also offers significant growth opportunities for the learning management system market.
- Schools around the world were temporarily closed to protect students, teachers, and staff from potential contamination during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a UNESCO study, the pandemic affected nearly 1.2 billion students in 143 countries. The rise of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed students to continue their education. Schools, colleges, and universities moved away from the four walls of the classroom, taking advantage of the digital space.
