Virtual Classroom

Hello,

Over the years, online education has evolved into a very sophisticated virtual classroom, due to the advancements in technology and the Internet. No longer an online course consists of only text messages.

Today's online virtual classrooms allow the students to open videos of pre-recorded or live lectures and demonstrations, to run interactive hands on labs and activities, animations, and simulations. In addition, you have discussion boards, assessments, email, posting assignments, and chat rooms.

Do you think that online education will become the preferred format in the future? Why?
