Introduction

With the constant advancement of technology, it was only a matter of time before education went to an online format. At the beginning online training was designed for businesses and their employees, but today it is becoming a growing field for universities and students. This type of learning environment has revolutionized what people have come to expect from their educational experience. It gives students the opportunity to access their coursework from any computer at any period of the day and provides them with the ability to work full time jobs and still further their education. At this point in time it is possible to see the differences between education with the use of technology and without it, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. One of the factors that has made this system so popular is the way media has created easy access to it, making it not just an important element in our current education, but also a significant component in the education of future generations.

I like your feel for the innovation of education due to technology. I think that without this eLearning there would still be a very limited audience that could obtain such higher level learning. The world of online learning has truly helped fulfill the needs and limits that every working individual encounters. The pace of internet learning, I feel, will continue to create a much more educated society.
