Bundy (2002), looking into the future

pedagogic change

towards student centred learning
• Collaboration, problem solving, innovation, creativity

Parallels 2002 – 2007
• Bundy (2002) characteristics of HE, now reality?
• Do these realities present opportunities, or threats?
![Page 8: Information literacy as a change agent?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/568132a2550346895d994481/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bundy (2002), Opportunity or threat?
• Disaggregation of teaching– Arguably, emerging teaching and learning
approaches are information literacy centric
• Not just pedagogy, economic factors– Life long learning – an economic imperative?– Producing knowledge workers for the knowledge
economy– Learning to learn in the 21st Century
• Societal factors– Closing digital divides
