Distance Learning Coordinators

The employment outlook for distance learning coordinators is bright. Online education continues to grow and colleges, universities, and other academic institutions will continue to expand their Web-based educational programs. The research group Global Market Insights estimated the value of the e-learning market as $190 billion in 2019, and projects that its  market value will grow by 7 percent through 2025. More corporations are expected to adopt and promote online education and training programs. Distance learning coordinators will be needed to oversee these programs. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for the related career of instructional coordinator will grow 6 percent (about as fast as the average for all careers) from 2018 to 2028. Distance learning coordinators who have a master's degree, several years of work experience, and who are up to speed on the latest technologies and software programs used in the field will have good chances of securing work.
