Key Highlights
-The E-learning industry is most likely to benefit from the growing popularity of distance learning and the increased use of these services on smartphones, tablets, other mobile devices, and wearable technology. These variables open a variety of growth opportunities for the E-learning and services businesses.
-Schools and training facilities incorporate smart technology into E-learning environments rather than using the traditional blackboard method. Different methods, such as smart learning, are being used at the university level to give alternative pathways and possibilities for students to build relevant and valuable skills in line with industry demands.
-Government initiatives and innovations drive the country. For instance, in July 2021, Qatar launched an improved e-learning platform that includes artificial intelligence for analyzing student behavior and class activity. The platform will be launched in the 2021-2022 school year, according to the Ministry of Education and Higher Education's Information Systems Department. The platform uses artificial intelligence and a variety of modern systems to assess each student's academic level - it is equipped with technology to analyze learner behavior and class activities to identify strengths and weaknesses and build early treatment plans. The system also facilitates communication between parents and the school by analyzing and evaluating teacher performance.
-Emerging E-learning market trends, including mobile learning, could drive the market. For example, the latest e-learning methods, such as micro training and learning-on-the-go, are possible due to the mobile LMS, which can be accessed from the trainees' mobile devices.
-While lower levels of awareness of e-learning, internet availability concerns, lack of proper infrastructure, and the cost implications of smart learning compared to traditional training methods are the barriers to implementing E-Learning management systems in the country.
-The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the spread of e-learning in Qatar. While many companies have quickly transitioned to e-learning and remote working, many are still having trouble selecting suitable platforms and lacking the necessary technical skills and capabilities.
