Advances in technology have changed the way learning and instruction are carried out. Formal and informal learning are blending, with students now learning 80% informally. Learners today have new literacies and need teachers with 21st century skills who are computer-savvy, creative, critical thinkers and good communicators. New tools like podcasts, videocasts, mind maps and online editors are supporting more personalised, visual, collaborative and hands-on styles of learning.
