The Education sector is undergoing a major transformation in recent times. The traditional methods of delivering information to students in secondary and tertiary sector are rapidly taking a backseat, making way for a more post-modernist approach to learning. The growth of the internet and availability of online content has contributed hugely to this change. However, like many other instances the new approach is being met with both positive and negative attitudes.
