The Rising Demand for Online Education Platforms: A Data Challenge
“According to the latest market analysis, the global Online Education Market is projected to reach USD 245900 million by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% during 2022-2028.”

The online growth of the education market is mostly due to increasing numbers of learners needing flexible learning options alongside the improving quality of online courses. As a result of this, online education platforms have to manage large amounts of data such as course materials, student records, interactive written, audio, video and visual content.
With the surge in data, the need for scalable and reliable data storage is crucial. Without such services, platforms can experience slow loading times, interruptions to service and data loss. Those types of challenges can badly affect the online learning experience and quality of the learning experience.
Coursera is an online learning platform which typifies the sort of massive growth the sector has seen…
“The World Economic Forum reports that in 2016, Coursera had 21 million registered users. By 2019, 44 million learners used the MOOC platform. This number leaped to 71 million in 2020, but unlike online college enrollment numbers, Coursera’s enrollment did not drop in 2021. Instead, the platform gained even more users, totaling 92 million in 2022.”

Student Preference For High Ranking Online Education
“For some prospective students, especially those moving into high-paying fields such as IT, the opportunity to learn high-demand skills is more important than a program or institution’s brand. Nearly half of respondents to our learner segmentation survey said they would only consider paying for education programs that have an expected positive return on career outcomes, while 21 percent indicated they would consider attending a school to get a degree only if the school was “top ranked”.”
