Carlos's main takeaway:
"The state of education was morphing into something new and exciting long before 2020, but this seems to be the year the eLearning industry is flexing its muscles. As society undertakes this giant experiment of making online education work for the masses, it's a good time to stop and think about what it will teach us and where it will take us. The worldwide eLearning market is expected to be worth $325 billion in 2025, compared to $165 billion in 2015. The numbers are clear.
