The government has adopted the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) into the primary and secondary education system via the 1BestariNet project. Since this project is expected to consume more than RM 4 billion, it is vital to do technology foresight to identify the emerging technologies which can be integrated to the VLE system. Besides, the emerging technologies must also be ranked accordingly so that the government can be made aware from the most practical technologies to the least for future study or procurement processes. This will indirectly help to identify technologies which are becoming obsolete or not relevant in the digital education field. This will certainly help the government to budget wisely and avoid any wastage or ill-spending.
