"Without a doubt, the advances in the capacity and reach of information technologies are so sweeping that we can properly say we have entered a new communications age – an age where institutional and personal communications, and perhaps even learning itself is being transformed in fundamental ways. It is the age of the New Millennium Learner, where technologies not only enable but perhaps even require new teaching and learning styles. It is an age of ubiquitous access, where the simultaneous engagement of multiple channels of communication, and multitasking to keep up with it all, are par for the course."
