Education delivery models and approaches are undergoing radical change. The traditional knowledge exchange model whereby an educator imparts knowledge to students may not be best placed to develop essential skills for the 21st century (Griffin, McGaw, & Care, 2012) and is being challenged by models that encourage knowledge creation by students.

Wikis allow individual contributions to be traceable thereby increasing individual accountability in group work situations. Wikis can …

Student Use Of Digital Technologies In And Out Of School, Anne-Marie Chase
Dr Anne-Marie Chase
The aim of this research is to describe how students' experiences of technology outside of school differ from their experiences in school.

Technology has changed the world around us, business and industry require workers to have new skills to operate and take advantage of the new opportunities that technology offers in the knowledge economy. Educators and schools aim to equip their students with skills that will be …
