Abstract

Knowledge is only a click away. Technology is a tool. Chalk and talk is an anachronistic and unproductive teaching and learning delivery mode. There is a new generation of "net.gen" "digital natives" who can only learn via information communication technology, thereby requiring an entirely new approach to education. This chapter suggests the persistence of tropes such as these in discourse of technology enhanced learning, particularly at the tertiary level, is noteworthy and invites our critical interest. Taking this analysis of contemporary discourse of technology enhanced learning as a platform; the chapter examines broader issues concerned with the commercialization of tertiary education and the new managerialism in the higher education sector.
