Is Google Wave the Future of Online Learning?

By , About.com GuideOctober 17, 2009

Follow me on:

Google Wave won't be released to the public until 2010. But, online instructors are already excited about its potential for online learning. Here are a few ways Google Wave may be used in coming months:

  • Online students may be able to collaborate from various websites, at different times and places.
  • Applications could allow Google Wave to connect multiple distance learning platforms, allowing schools to combine the features of several websites.
  • New distance learning platforms may be created entirely as Google Wave applications, providing the option for no-cost online education software.

A lucky few are already exploring Google Wave in beta form - you can request an Google Wave invitation on their website.

Like the past first there are explorers, then colonists, pioneers and then people come and establish towns and cities.

10% will jump on this immediately, while 80 % slowly acclimatize, and 10 % still are waiting to get a phone.
