Most educators are convinced Internet technology will sharply alter the educational landscape of the future, but considerable uncertainly still exists as to exactly how the classroom will evolve over the next decade. Many of the relevant technologies in development are a direct result of the Internet2 Project [1], a collaboration of more than 200 universities working closely with private industry and the National Science Foundation to build and promote an advanced network using state-of-the-art technology and applications. But how the classroom evolves depends not only on advanced Internet2 technologies, which are discussed later in the article, but also on issues involving funding, logistics, and system integration.
