The exciting technology they use in macromedia's website is an example of e-learning and the future of it because ideas like virtual classrooms are just the beginning of online classrooms, I believe that this will also become a thriving new part of the internet like online banking, chat rooms etc... because the teaching will become more and more one to one and possibly provide a better learning enviroment even than school, which will sooner or later become a better more effective way of people to learn making the whole school and education experience a virtual one.
Virtual learning can offer special features that obviously schools can not but it is also the same vice versa until virtual classrooms become alot more technologically advanced. Virtual learning can be rewinded, paused, repeated, etc.. exactly, it is more relaxed, done at your own leisure, you use it becasue you want to learn more about a particular subject. But it does not offer alot of the essential education which a real classroom can provide like; one to one interaction, giving personal comparisons, comparing to real ife etc... basically virtual classrooms lack a personal approach, still seen as 'the person is using the computer to help them' instead of 'the computer is helping the person'.
