Abstract | For better or for worse, we are seeing profound change in society, the workplace and how learners live and work. In today’s interconnected technology-supported and driven world, learning typically takes place in physical, virtual and remote places. It is an integrated, highly technical environment. Educational institutions worldwide have access to a range of information and communication technologies which is creating exciting new learning and teaching opportunities and is challenging existing practice. Online learning is now part of much of mainstream higher education and innovative learning approaches have the potential to transform the industry. Rapid changes in the nature of the workplace, work (new jobs, new careers), the structure of organisations, and the pervasive presence of networked technologies are requiring a shift in focus in the world of education and training. A skill learned this week may be out of date the next making it apparent that traditional ways of working in educational institutions are unsustainable, requiring an “adapt to survive” imperative. In today’s knowledge economy, the role of higher education is being redefined. Hilton (2006, p. 1) suggests that this may be viewed as “a perfect storm, born from the convergence of numerous disruptive forces...[and] as the dawn of a new day, a sunrise rife with opportunities arising from these same disruptive forces”. How an institution chooses to respond to the disruptions can shape its future direction. These disruptive forces do not necessarily indicate a problem and may, in fact, result in positive outcomes according to the diverse contexts in which they occur. |
