The college experience could be drastically different in the next decade. Wireless mobile technologies make it possible for students to attend classes, deliver assignments, research subjects, and interact with faculty and colleagues from nearly any. Add to that access to internet cafes and wireless networks, the opportunity to connect increases substantially. Over 18 million students will take at least one online class this year, with a greater appetite for faster wireless connections and advanced systems to support them. The future development and use of virtual reality and augmented reality technology may enable students the ability to collaborate in real time on assignments and projects, to role play in management cases, to work in virtual labs, and experience hands on instruction.Tomorrow�s students will demand even higher production quality instruction and immersion, pushing innovators and engineers to create new learning management platforms and infrastructure to support them.
