Strategizing Competencies via Open and Distance Learning (ODL)

Abstract

The digital educational landscape is now ubiquitous to the point that we need to redesign the teaching and learning environment. Leveraging on technology, we now approach the concept of open and distance learning and addresses pertinent issues in employability as learners have the affordances of constructing their own resume of competencies and become job creators instead of job seekers. This paper analyses the current underpinning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and coupling that with innovative pedagogical approaches such as a multidisciplinary based learning to propose a strategy for competencies of the next generation.
