This document discusses the implications of digital technologies for teaching and learning. It notes that skills of collaboration will be more important than competitive skills in the digital age. Learners must be open to autonomous, assisted and collaborative learning. Education is being challenged by new media and technologies, requiring rethinking who, what, where and when learning occurs. Digital learning pedagogy demands a different instructional design approach and teaching methodology, requiring new skills from both teachers and students.
