I assume that by 'ELT' the author means 'E-Learning technology'. It could also be 'English Language Training'. I don't know. It is never defined in the article. The case is otherwise well-made, though. The domain of online learning is shifting rapidly to include not only the desktop, but also various mobile devices. "The growth in apps for communication, gaming and simple utility (finding the quickest route on public transport) is phenomenal. Apps seem to be everywhere, often created for quite short-term uses: event apps, conference planners, even the small hotel in Berlin I stayed in recently had its own free app for guests."
