INNOVATIVE ACADEMIC REVOLUTIONS: PROMOTING PRACTICES OF KNOWLEDGE CREATION IN THE DIGITAL ERA
Abstract
Abstract - The digital era of revolution is transforming our effort, our organizations, and our routines. It is not only transforming the people access information, communicate with each other and learn but also this revolution has transformed the majority of learning and teaching procedure in classrooms. There is no doubt that education plays a vital role to play in increasing western competitiveness and plummeting unemployment. In this context, the academic world is trying to adapt its teaching and learning methods to the new needs of the marketplace, the technological advances, and the way students grasp these technologies in their process of knowledge generation. When it comes to learning new tech, tools of the trade are as important as the tech itself. Choosing the right tool could make a lot of difference in delivering the right education versus using something which works. Using the right tool will also make the students learn on their own skill and arrive at solutions differently thus creating the thinking mind which seems to be lacking in today's’ generation and touted by the industry as the next brain drain. Innovative tools of teaching and learning will bring revolution in creating and developing knowledge in this digital era.
