Shift to the core essence of why we learn

After reading some very interesting websites (elearningtech, elearninglearning) that talk about eLearning, I still have yet to find some meaty information about why everyone is shifting. Mostly, there is a divide between eLearning 1.0, 1.3 and 2.0 and as interesting as it is, this mostly talks about technologies and tools. How the internet works is of little relevance to the users of today. We want it all: we want to be jazzed, entertained, connected and pushed. We expect you to take us there.

So how is this relevant to Higher Education? We know all methods are possible and if it's not possible we expect you to create it for us but the real question is why am I learning this? What is the benefit? and mostly, how is it compelling to my life?
