Getting students engaged is not an easy task particularly in an age that is full of all kinds of distractions. Some argue that some of the habits that students have developed as a result of their heavy use of emerging technologies and social media have negatively impacted their capacities to concentrate and focus for longer stretches of time. Multitasking in particular is blamed for this and we do side with the camp that views multitasking as a distractor to productivity and not a positive attribute.

Digital transformation in education: The FutureLearn view | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

In this piece, Nigel Smith of The Open University-owned FutureLearn, reflects on digital transformation in education over the past six years since MOOCs (massive open online courses) first burst onto the scene
