Introduction

With the advent of the digital age, the profile of the learners in the education system has changed dramatically. It is, therefore, imperative that educators evaluate their instructional strategies for designing learning and adapt existing practices to better meet the learning needs and preferences of the digital generation. This is to empower them to handle the complex challenges of a highly globalised and digitised world. Rethinking pedagogy for the 21st century is as crucial as identifying the new competencies that todays learners need to develop in this digital age. This course explores the pedagogies, learning environments, theories, perspectives and considerations on the use of various digital media technologies to develop 21st century competencies and skills in the learners.
