National Online Learning Day

National Online Learning Day is dedicated to making online education accessible to everyone. It is observed on September 15th. The development of the internet has transformed the way we access information. Educational materials are now available through a wide range of online resources, including free videos, public lectures, and specialized courses, allowing people to gain new professional skills without leaving home.

History

National Online Learning Day was officially launched in 2016, though the history of online education began much earlier. The widespread adoption of the internet at the end of the 20th century paved the way for the rise of online learning. In 1994, CompuHigh, the first online high school, opened and began offering virtual courses to students.

Each year, the number of learning platforms has grown, with specialists and educators creating paid courses that help students master specific professions. The use of webcams and modern website features has made online education not only accessible but also convenient.

By 2015, statistics showed that six million schoolchildren and students were enrolled in at least one online course.
