"This then begs the question would virtual learning environments replace traditional higher education institutions? Or will they continue in advance in parallel with the traditional forms of education. Food for thought" - Sarah Chulhan

Sarah,
You pose two very good questions. However I feel that it will take the latter. In my study of the history of VLE as technology evolved so did the method of delivery of distance learning. VLEs are only one component of a educational system that has occurs to meet the needs of different learners. Because we are so different in our learning styles there will never be a one size fits all educational system although some try to make it so. It will be interesting to see however VLE's will evolve as the technology changes. Did you ever think you could take a college course on your iPod?
