"The Future of E-Learning"

After reading the discussion located at URL: elearningindustry.com I was left with a rather bad taste on my pallet. Throughout the article most of the responses focused on particular types of technology, or, outlandish futuristic dreams with holograms. In my experience the technology that will be in place 5 years from now is rarely what you, or, the industry predicts it will be. Rather in 5 years I see a significantly more integrated HE learning environment. In this environment you will see a more blended learning experience with both in class and online instruction. Online resources and tools will be more closely used within the classroom and more online classes will be available. As to what technology will be used to greater facilitate these online environments, I can not say. However what we can say is that the physical classroom and online classroom will become one in the same over time.
