Abstract
The accelerated development of online education is mainly due to advances in information and communication technologies and public life’s widespread digitalization. However, the factors in the development of e-learning are rather diverse, and their influence is heterogeneous. To explore the effect of media and non-media factors, the paper analyses Russia’s online education market from 2011 to 2019. We hypothesize that it is possible to expand the contribution of the e-learning market to GDP by increasing investments in EdTech and that there is a direct relationship between the level of investment in online education and the internet penetration rate. The hypotheses are tested using statistical and correlation methods. The research results indicate that both the hypotheses were confirmed. There is a direct moderate relationship between the Internet penetration rate in Russia and the volume of investment in the online education market. There is a strong direct relationship between the size of GDP and the volume of investment in the online education market.
