Higher education will increasingly be influenced by innovations made on e-learning courses, it has been said. Writing in The Conversation, adjunct lecturer at the University of New South Wales’ school of computer science and engineering Dror Ben-Naim suggested the future of academia could involve students engaging in distance learning online through immersive games. The university has already invested in online learning tools and allows attendees to view announcements and updates about their course, download relevant academic materials, undertake self-assessment quizzes, submit feedback and assignments, or download video content and recordings of lectures. A large number of the next generation of graduates will have honed their skills through virtual learning environments, much in the same way as aeroplane pilots learn how to fly through flight simulators, the specialist predicted.
