The rapid acceleration in digital innovations have enabled unparalleled access to information far more than we have ever experienced in the recent years. Moreover, the suspension of physical school classes due to the COVID19 pandemic has accelerated the integration of virtual learning and education systems to cope with current education challenges. This unprecedented scenario has also influenced emerging trends leading to AI-driven digital learning systems industry.

According to the World Economic Forum, traditional learning scenarios have exponentially decreased amid the augmented demand in digital classrooms and advancements in the education industry. Academic courses and professional certifications held online are also sought-after, citing a 10% year-on-year growth of massive open online courses (MOOCs). These opportunities serve as a platform for emerging trends in the education system such as the utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) in online campuses.

Learning systems have also taken a stride with the implementation of AI in digital classrooms, optimizing both teaching and learning experiences. With AI's machine learning system and algorithm in place, educators are provided support for personalized education based on each individuals' needs. The role of AI is anticipated to further revolutionize the future of education.
