Virtual learning environments will cause significant disruption to higher education in the immediate future. This is according to Parneet Gosal, writer, strategist and founder of digital strategy consultancy Seedwalker, who wrote in a blog for the firm that universities across the world are implementing e-learning programmes and looking into the possibilities provided by distance learning online. Wide-spread public demand for improved access to education is driving this change, she continued, highlighting the fact that there are many “ordinary people” who wish to study a particular subject at their own pace and without a teacher “looking over [their] shoulder”. “There is every indication that online learning works,” the expert stated, pointing to research that appears to indicate students on e-learning courses learn content faster than people participating in face-to-face instruction.
