The conference's agenda was to discuss the implication of digital tools on online learning. It also highlighted the impact of these LMS tools at international and national level. A special session was arranged in the conference named as “The New Landscape of Higher Education”, which witnessed topics on the impact of technology innovation into online corporate as well as degree learning. The session also discussed the future prospects and higher dimensions of technology achievements.

The expert team at the conference did mention a fact that online learning can be beneficial to a university in terms of both funding and international reputation and emphasised on an interesting fact that it can advance a country’s soft power (persuasive approach to international relations). So take a look at how students can enhance their learning program.

Speaking of the UK which is considered as the world's leading education provider need to design their online courses in such a manner that it upholds the same quality and recognition like the traditional colleges.
Rajay Naik, CEO of the education marketing and online learning service at Keypath Education, said,

“how effective methods for online learning will enable the country to uphold its status as a global education leader.”
He even added

“There is a fundamental difference between a free, short, unaccredited course and a formal, fee-paying, degree-accredited programme that delivers a significant certificate or degree at the end of it, and we must make sure that we never make that distinction unclear or blurred.”

75% of the candidates opting for higher education are mostly from the professional background who wish to pursue higher education to get promoted or even update their skillset. They won't go back to the campus learning session to earn their skills. Online education is the only mode they can look up to. This report was published by The Online College Students 2015.


Moreover online educators are providing degrees within 6 months of their course schedule which is now been an added advantage for the online learners compared to the traditional campus degrees which at least take 3 years to earn it. According to the present news, Google is now backing a scheme to get people a "nano degree" in just six months.

The Quality Matters

The online educators from the UK are quite aware of the quality of their education and their perseverance will continue to improvise with time. Apart from the Uk, online education providers should focus on the quality to attract students worldwide.
