TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The online education sector is experiencing a remarkable surge. According to the Institute for Information Industry, Taiwan witnessed a staggering value of NT＄51.06 billion in digital learning in 2022.
Recognizing the immense potential, Waki, a former TSMC manager, has ventured into the realm of online content creation.
His earnings from selling online courses, dedicated to promoting learning, even surpass his prior annual income of NT＄3 million.
Remarkably, the revenue from just one of his courses equals the earnings from six years at TSMC.
Meanwhile, practical skills, ranging from baking to dancing, are also being taught via online platforms, showing that the possibilities for online learning are virtually boundless.
For instance, a 'memorizing techniques' course raked in an impressive NT＄50 million in revenue, showcasing the sustained momentum of online learning even post-pandemic.
However, some subjects thrive through in-person interaction, like the debate class, for example. Hands-on experience and immediate practice in on-site settings could foster richer learning.
Nevertheless, the digital learning landscape holds significant financial prospects. The real challenge lies in carving a niche amid the sea of online creators with quality content.
