How Online Education is Accelerating AI Adoption in Higher Education

Online education delivers instructional content and learning experiences via digital platforms, enabling students to study remotely over the internet.

AI enhances online education by tailoring learning pathways to individual students, automating administrative duties, and providing intelligent support systems that boost both student engagement and educator effectiveness. For example, in June 2025, Coursera Inc., a US-based online learning platform, reported that its 700 GenAI courses averaged 12 enrollments per minute—up dramatically from just one per minute in 2023 and eight per minute in 2024. This surge in enrollments underscores how the growth of online education is directly propelling demand for AI solutions in higher education.
