I don't emphasize this as much as I should - online learning will succeed when it gets students out of the classroom and into the communities about which we are trying to teach them. In this regard, programs such as the National Parks Program play an increasingly significant role, as students, supported by mobile e-learning, get out into the forest to study the trees. If your picture of e-learning is row on row of students in computer labs taking self-study modules, change it. Online learning is about freeing students, not tieing them down to computer labs.
