By identifying brand new programmes that are likely to prepare students for enabling Industry 4.0, along with setting students up to fulfil worthwhile, sustainable, multiple careers and to become contributing citizens of globalization 4.0 during their long lives,\u201d says Professor Salmon.<\/p>\n<p>As today\u2019s students call for increased personalisation, adaption, transformed assessment and increased mobility, she argues for a symbiotic approach where the best of human teaching and technology combine to enable every learner to become systems\u2019 designers and achievers.<\/p>\n<p>The pace and scale of change engulfing the higher education sector is unprecedented. Professor Salmon\u2019s paper aims to stimulate dialogue and promote preparedness to ensure we continue to deliver outstanding outcomes for the workforce of the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jl4d.org\/index.php\/ejl4d\/article\/view\/352\"><em>\u2018May the Fourth Be with you: Creating Education 4.0\u2019 <\/em>is available through open access in the<em> Journal of Learning for Development, <\/em><em>published by the Commonwealth of Learning<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n                  <\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-content\"><div class=\"container\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The way we create higher education will require a seismic shift in the near future in order to prepare the next generation of students for the rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[16,17,21],"class_list":["post-408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insights","tag-innovation","tag-learning-delivery","tag-technology-optimisation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v23.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is Education 4.0?
