"E-learning is an essential and inevitable part of tomorrow's 'classroom'. Online instruction not only hones computer literacy, critical thinking skills and future job marketability for students, it provides a unique one-to-one interaction with the instructor and peers from diverse cultural backgrounds that is very difficult to achieve in the traditional classroom. I personally believe that virtual learning and online instruction offers one of the greatest contributions to humanity by leveling the playing field for many."
