The prediction made a year back by several training experts and Gurus for 2008 eLearning industry - how far they met the reality?

Elearning experts has made several forecast in January this year; am interested to know the resemblance of behavior of the industry with those experienced statements.

Like, most of the experts talked about eLearning 2.0, Virtual Classrooms and Rapid Development models will rule through out the year.
