The learning network implemented over the past thirty years by the State of
Louisiana and others has brought to many institutions a new and adventurous
learning style. Through efforts of computer networks and digital information we
are now able to communicate quicker and at greater distance than ever before. The
traditional sense of distance education has challenging traditional curricula.
Educators from both sides of the playing field, administrators and teachers, are now
able to gather and receive information anywhere at any time. The Internet, a web of
networks, covers the world hundreds of times, and is transforming communication
and shared information to everyone at the push of a button. The infrastructural
efforts of telecommunication companies like Bell South and Lucent Technologies
have pivotal roles in the realm of distance communications. Just how much of an
impact on education is yet to be determined.
Everyday changes are being made and curriculum's revised to make this new
technology part of every student's academic experience. We see digital libraries and
new forms of media creating an increase in information access. Thus, resulting in
student knowledge, social construction and universal education. Multi-culturalism,
instructional technology and other advanced technologies have yet to be fully
addressed. It is through the hopes of new philosophical beliefs and ideas that more
institutions as well as students alike grasp hold of this growing learning style and
that institutions like the University of New Orleans continue to take steps for
tomorrow's learning environment.
