According to Wikipedia the worldwide e-learning industry is estimated to be worth over 38 billion euros. In the US nearly 3.5 million students were participating in on-line learning at institutions of higher education by the year 2006. Education at the touch of a button has revolutionized teaching. Today’s wireless technology allows educators and development specialists to reach the most remote places in all corners of the globe. With radio, satellite, and Wi-Fi signals beaming two-way information between distant locations, people can participate in an almost endless array of learning opportunities.

Being a teacher myself I am also fascinated by the benefits that distance learning has to offer. My students take full advantage of all online technologies and are quite literate in the field. I, on the other hand, am a little skeptical of those e-learning benefits, as I believe they cut both ways.
