Abstract

We are told that the post-digital age is approaching – where digital technology will be both completely embedded in our everyday lives and completely ‘taken-for-granted’ by its users. But are our HE courses fully prepared for this next stage of our technical and social development? We may be making significant advances in learning and teaching but what about other key systems like curriculum design? If they are not keeping up with the pace of change then this could stifle or frustrate any advances we can achieve in learning and teaching.
