E-learning is a potential channel for education/learning that needs to be harnessed, even in developed countries i guess!

I think projects like Khan Academy look very promising

http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html

Where students spend half of their time learning subject on their computer using videos and exercises and then afterwards discussing the learned things in the group and / or solving projects applying the learned subject matter.

I believe the future lies in this kind of combination. As students can learn the basics on their own time and then deepen their understanding in a social environment (discussion and projects).

All the best

Thorsten
