ABSTRACT
The tertiary education sector is an area of current very rapid and unpredictable change, with universities and colleges reviewing and often implementing radical alterations in the ways they design, deliver and assess the curriculum, taking into account not just innovations in how content is being delivered and supported, particularly through technological means, but also the changing relationships between academics and their students. The role of the teacher in higher education needs to be reconsidered, when students can freely access content worldwide, and seek accreditation and recognition of learning by local, national or international providers.
