When used appropriately, online education is a valuable tool which can add value to a whole range of educational efforts, according to one scholar. Bryan LeBeau, an educator from the US, said that e-learning is at its best when conveying information appropriate to that medium to the specific segment of the population who are best prepared to learn from it, reports the Leavenworth Times. In America, three-quarters of institutions offer online learning and the majority report that the courses are a success. Mr LeBeau states that the future of learning is not purely online, but that it is a cohesive component of the educational system as it evolves and that it gives opportunity for developing online skills. He predicts – with reference to a survey of colleges around the US – that in ten years’ time, 50 per cent of students will be taking online classes.
