Abstract: | The possibilities offered by computerization permit revolutionary changes in the ways in which higher education is structured and delivered to learners. In particular, the substance of all fields and disciplines can be broken down into modules, basic building blocks of knowledge, that can be assimilated by learners in a variety of ways, including long-distance transnational delivery. This method, coupled to the pressing need for workers, in what is now a knowledge and learning society, to constantly retool, permits an alternation throughout life between work and study, the structure of which resembles a double helix. |
