Transformation of Teaching and Learning

It was a great treat to watch the live streaming of Harvard Initiative for Learning & Teaching Symposium 2012 and listen to the insights from some of the leading minds in higher education on the transforming era of teaching and learning that we are living in today.

Something different in learning is happening, and this something is fundamental; and hence some fundamental changes in teaching need to happen to respond to the new possibilities and demands in learning.

What is this something? What enabled it to happen? Mobile learning? social learning? online learning? Learning with iPad? So many questions, so few definite answers.  It is an exciting time now to be in the fields of technology and education which become the focal points for exploring future possibilities and redefining our ways of learning, teaching, interacting, creating, and being.

Being engaged and participating in this transforming process is the best way to understand it and become a part of it. I will be writing a series of posts on different key concepts being discussed and emerging. I invite you to share your thoughts!
