The result of the digital “Tsunami” changes in education in the 21st has been huge.
Recall that in the year 2000 there was no such thing as internet broadband, Facebook
or iTunes which is now a daily commodity. No doubt changes in technology will
continue to accelerate. Education is about learning. Learning happens everywhere and
technology creates a platform of almost limitless opportunities for better learning.
With the recent digital development of Open Education Resources (OER) and Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs), these emergence towards free and open resources and
courses has a tremendous potential to democratise education. There is no denying that
it’s one of the biggest discussions being had in education and around the world. Will
the digital ‘tsunami’ phenomenon revolutionise the landscape of education? Some
believe that this new medium will revolutionise both online and conventional
education. This paper attempts to explore the hype issues that surround the notion of
democratisation movement that gears towards open and free education. This paper
looks into the impact and the types of evidence that are being generated across
initiatives, organisations and individuals in order to make a summative analysis and
recommendations. Finally, this paper hopes to provide some insight into the dynamics
of the evolution of digital ‘tsunami’ in present higher education.
