Changes to the learning environment(i.e connectivity) alters the relationships between teachers and learners, and between school and society.There are opportunities of course can be made more possible by access to communication technology.
Conceptions of learning have also shifted with a century of research on learning and teaching. The developmental, experiential, and philosophical notions of learning described by John Dewey and George Herbert Mead in the early years of the past century gave way to individual, behavioristically oriented conceptions of learning based on the early work of Edward Thorndike and extended by B. F. Skinner. Mid century, theories of knowledge construction by Jean Piaget contrasted sharply with those of Thorndike and Skinner. In the last two decades, beginning with theories of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner in the 80's and followed by advances in cognitive science, educational research, and understandings of the neurological functioning of the brain, our understanding of learning continues to develop. The current conception is of a more constructivist process with a much stronger focus on the interactive processes.
And as learning can be :
Learner-Centered
Knowledge-Centered
Community-Centered
Assessment-Centered
The role of teachers also changes when there are significant shifts in the organisation of the learning environments, the orientation of learners, and availability of instructional tools and technology. These changes call for new roles for teachers.
There has been exponential growth in the amount of recorded knowledge so that memorization of factual information is no longer an effective approach to mastery of a field.
So depending on our learning goals this medium will chnage learning , whether it is a fundamental change? - I think the jury is still out.
