According to Vivian Wagne, in her article: Cassroom of the Future: The Rise of Online Learning *, in these times of pandemic almost all education is done online, it will most likely continue like this once it comes to an end . For her, the methods and techniques of online education are rapidly evolving and improving, becoming a preferred business tool, and often more convenient than face-to-face training.

Vivian notes that some of the benefits of online education are: reduced costs associated with face-to-face training, including travel costs; accommodation and rentals, as well as loss of productive work time for students. Another major benefit of online education is that it can potentially reach many more students than face-to-face training. 

On the other hand, with online learning, many entrepreneurs teach thousands of students from all over the world every day, expanding their reach and improving their income. It also helps them connect with a wider audience, taking into account that it is not limited by a specific geographic area. 

For her, this form of education presents some unique challenges for both learners and educators, but adaptability and a willingness to experiment can go a long way toward meeting them. Making students feel as though they are personally with the instructor is going to depend on the clever use that the teacher makes of educational technologies and other educational resources that the teacher uses in their class.

Online education uses a wide variety of methods and strategies to keep students engaged and learning. A strategy for the success of this type of education is, for example, to use content that is attractive to a wide variety of students, applying different teaching styles, using videos, games and other learning methodologies.

Finally, the author says that online education is evolving rapidly, we increasingly see a greater number of students and teachers who are using new information technologies, which allows them to have access to learning resources through their phone mobile. Access to your readings by this means allows you to read or listen to your materials during your trip, before or after work, or at any time that is convenient for you. In these times of advancement of science and technology, mobile devices can offer us all the educational resources that we have had in the traditional format.
