Abstract
The main purposes of this paper is to explore the significance of emerging technologies for engaging and enhancing interactive eLearning . We begin by highlighting the characteritics of the new Interaction Age that suggest a shift in the creation, usage and applications of digital content. We review a set of technologies and trends such as Google Applications, Cloud computing, Virtual Reality, and ubiquitous learning via iTune U using mobile devices. These technologies are among those at the leading edge of innovation and hold promise for the future of higher education. We also argue that these technologies must enhance student engagement and interaction in the increasing use of virtual learning environments (VLEs).
