What technologies will be used to enhance eLearning in the future?
In the next 25 years students will participate in training environments that combine computer science, instructional design and hyper-real graphical interfaces. Learners will suit up for training by wearing computer devices composed of a combination of LCD (liquid crystal display) eyeglasses, invisible microphones and virtual keyboards that are powered by the body’s natural electrical charge. Holographic simulations in virtual reality training rooms will become more common and with new haptic (touch) technologies, training will truly become interactive and deceptively close to real life scenarios. In 50years, it’s conceivable that nanotechnology will have advanced to the point where learning a task is as simple as implanting or swallowing a microcomputer that transmits the information internally to the parts of the brain that need the knowledge.
