Email certainly is ubiquitous - and has been so for many years. I have used many online tools that have migrated to having an Outlook plugin so as to address this email dependency. These plugins range from extremely useful to terribly redundant. Regardless, email is a sort of comforting homepage for many who see it as there place of connection. Little do they know that there are now far better ways to stay connected with a sense of presence and timeliness. E-learning platforms and applications that can mirror the ubiquitous of email will only do so if the sense of connection is presented with ease.
