Abstract

Online education hasn't occurred just because of the pandemic. Online education began with correspondence courses, which originated internationally in the 1800s. In 1858, the University of London set up what they referred to as external programs. In its beginnings, 33 was the average age of students reported by a college. This is clearly not the norm anymore! With statistics available, it is believed that one out of four students is enrolled or has at least taken an online course. After over 22 years of online teaching, the author has learned that there is a growing need for online education, which will continue to grow. There are questions about whether learning occurs with quality and validity. Because there is continual growth, educators need to keep up with motivational techniques and technology to help ensure retention in education. Learning how to adapt to different approaches to learning, along with continual change, will impact the motivation and success of students.
