• Shift of learning from only classroom to anywhere.• From teacher-centric to learner-centric.• From teacher as instructor to teacher as a facilitator of

learning.• From mainly oral instruction to technology supported

instruction.• From fixed time to any time during life as learning time.• From “you learn what we offer” to “we offer what you

want to learn”.• From education as a one-time activity to education as

lifelong activity.
