Objectives and scope

The use of technology has revolutionized education. Online teaching and learning and their

flexibility in terms of place, time, and pace of study contribute to the new curriculum.

Curricula will continue to become more blended combining e-learning with traditionalformats (face-to-face lectures and other modes). A key challenge for ourselves as educators is

to adapt the institutions in which we work to meet the emerging reality of the connected

environment. Employers require fewer but more skilled workers. The cognitive skills fostered

by education should be those of problem solving that enables individuals to process

information effectively and work within complex, ever-changing environments.

Today the questions that should be asked about schooling are those that take into account the

social context in which we live. As educators and administrators we need to attend to the world

outside of the closed context of the system and recognize the ways in which the world hasbecome interrelated with the understanding that every student comes into the classroom with

a biography and a way of being in the world. For todays learners that world has increasingly

become a wired one with the need for social interaction.
