“The digital revolution has disrupted and will continue to disrupt what we mean by learning and how we organise our disciplines. Suffice to say, that to think about transdisciplinarity in a networked world is to think about disciplines in a different and evolving context of interconnection and complex forms of communications and interchange”
(Burnett, 2011)
