Future with CSCL and Virtual Education ∗ 1. Consider globalisation as a continuing trend: Doing studies completely on-line at the vocational education level will free you from the pressure of being in a certain place for your education.
∗ 2. CSCL is a way to more democratic world of education: ∗ Complete on-line education could be much cheaper than contact studies of many years. -A project ”One laptop per child”
