Is Long Tail Learning the future of E-learning?

E-learning has come a long way since alternative means to move away from traditional learning were much sought after. Today, a majority of the youth population lives in the virtual world and are busy managing wikis, blogs, social networking presence in sites like Facebook, Digg, MySpace, Twitter, etc. Virtual life has indeed taken an  imperative position – thanks to iPhones, iPADs, 4Gs and what not! There cannot be a better opportunity than now for universities, K-12s, organizations and multinationals to implement best e-learning practices that integrate social networking and learning. Although the phenomenon is already felt, much progress is yet to be seen in this area of learning, now commonly called Long Tail Learning.
