Abstract
Digital transformation is one of the main objectives of educational institutions nowadays. Institutions may gain from the digital revolution by enhancing teaching and learning and their ability to run their operations more effectively. Both of these factors are crucial for better serving students. Online education became necessary due to a number of factors, including the increased accessibility and affordability of technology, the need for more flexible and convenient learning options, and the COVID-19 pandemic which forced schools and universities to close their physical classrooms and move instruction online. People who may not be able to attend traditional in-person classes owing to job, family, or other commitments will find that online education is an excellent alternative. Technical difficulties, such as slow internet connectivity or software glitches, can interfere with online learning and make it challenging for students to access instructional resources. Addressing these challenges and improving the online education experience requires a systematic and ongoing review of the online education system, with a focus on ensuring access to quality education for all students, addressing equity and inclusiveness concerns, and fostering innovation and improvement in the delivery of online education. The online education system has many benefits, as well as some drawbacks, and is likely to continue growing in popularity in the future. This article provides a general overview of online education systems, the technological requirements for their implementation, some potential future issues, and some approaches to make online education effective.
