Abstract:
Higher education and lifelong learning today are very different from what they were twenty years ago. Information is no longer scarce - the internet has made information abundant. The quality of information and connections one can make through the internet has also increased dramatically, with the availability of open online educational resources and massive open online courses. I will discuss the ways in which these changes to the learning landscape affect higher ed teachers
