1) The origin of e-learning
Various forms of computer-based learning and education have been developed in the past, including computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and computer-aided instruction (CAI). Later, with the development of CBT (computer-based training) and WBT (web-based training), the term e-learning emerged in the 1990s. In the U.S., microwave and satellite communications had been used since the 1980s to establish a system for taking the same course over a wide area, but in the 1990s, a low-cost, highly interactive system using the Internet came to be widely used. In Japan, the e-Japan concept launched in 2001 has attracted attention from a wide range of people.

4) The future of the e-learning industry
The size of the e-learning market has been steadily growing at 102%-108% year-on-year for the past several years. Behind this growth is an environment that makes e-learning convenient, including improvements in information and communication technology, the generalization of mobile terminals (smartphones and tablets), and the evolution of cloud computing environments. This environment has also led to an increase in the number of businesses entering the e-learning business targeting individuals. This trend will not stop and will further expand.
The general operational style of e-learning will be that the instructor will manage questions and users on a PC, while the student will learn on a mobile device, and the student will be able to learn anytime, anywhere.
