While I was wondering about the right topic of my master thesis, I was thinking of technologies that might have the biggest impact on e-learning in the future.

The English Wikipedia remains more than 3,4 million articles, the Dutch Wikipedia on the other hand less than one million, so I thought it should not be difficult to find an interesting subject for a new entry on this free encyclopedia.
