The future of online education is an important issue for teachers who want
to be prepared for changes in their teaching and learning environment.
Distance educators must seriously address the need for planning to
effectively use new instructional technologies. Ultimately, the public could
become disillusioned with online education if they fail to deliver their
promises for quality and personalized instruction. A potential way to
address this vital issue is by creating various futuristic scenarios
designed to address the following questions:
What landmark technologies might alter the future of computer-mediated
education?
What additional skills will future online teachers need with the advent of
major changes in the technological landscape?
My questions are intended to stimulate your thinking and foster dialog on
the future of distance education.
