ILS will not replace teachers in the future but will become a tool used more often by teachers. The problem with it is a further distance from the classroom which causes a more difficult time for a student to build a rapport with the teacher. It is no secret that many teachers do give grades based on the work a student provides; if this tool is put into effect on a wider basis then there may be a wider range of failing students. This technology does not come without a cost.
The upside is that it is easier to use for teachers and offers further details or alternate explanations for students. Students will be able to access materials discussing topics teachers went over in class and may reread or relearn materials presented by their teacher in class. Teachers will not have to build quizzes or tests as they are already provided on the computer. Students can also learn their grades immediately once they have finished their work. Also, the technology could lead to a more difficult time cheating if it is done in front of the instructors because each test could have randomized questions.
