Independent vs. Social Learners

• The traditional education system gives priority to independent learning, prior to participative work.

• New learners, however, are already acquainted with digital tools that adapt to both personal and participative work.

Learning To Do vs. Learning To Pass The TestOld teachers teach students in order to help them pass the tests and complete the course requirement.

On the other hand, the new digital learners simply wish to acquire skills, knowledge and habits as windows of opportunity afford them to learn. Our parents have completed a course and have engaged in a permanent job for most of their lives. A different work situation awaits the digital generation with contractual, multitask and multi-career opportunities in a digital world ahead of them.
