The Role of Technology In Curriculum Delivery

First Trend: Paradigm shift from teacher-centered to student-centered approach to learning

Second Trend: Broadening realization that education is not simply a delivering of facts and information, but an educative process of cultivating the cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and contemplative intelligence of the learners of a new age.
