The document discusses issues around e-learning and changing educational paradigms. It notes that society is becoming increasingly connected and digital, with most New Zealanders now online. However, it questions whether e-learning is just an educational fad or whether it enables more engaging, relevant and authentic learning styles that today's digital students prefer. It highlights the need to reconsider traditional teaching approaches and how technology could help build new types of student-centered learning environments.
