Descartes has said he is because he thinks. Perhaps we should say: we are because we learn. Learning is an essential human characteristic, look at children who self-learn empirically. In our times we are privileged to have special learning institutions while learning has become a hallmark of civilization. Teachers are among the key contributors to our society, but will they work the same as in the last millennia? Right now, just about everything in learning and teaching is changing. Traditional methods are replaced by newer ones and there is a host of new learning “technologies.” It is of foremost importance that societies adapt to this and that is why this book has been created. Thoughts and experiences of the brightest minds of today offer an overview of what is going on and where we are heading. Written in an accessible, yet academically rigorous way, this volume explores the past dynamics and future avenues of learning and teaching. Its contributors are among the brightest minds of today with knowledge, experience and vision to shed a light of learning and teaching’s past and future.

“The editors, who have published major texts before, have now attacked one of the core issues that will affect humanity for the remainder of century: how we learn and how organizations learn, and subsequently the effects on this stage of human evolution as these trends converge. Core learning is pragmatic and through osmosis, not the rote methods taught during the industrial era which plagued much of our youth and continues to be the core method for young people globally. The connections and convergence argument have hitherto not been explored in such a coherent and logical manner, combined of course with the editors’ reliance on data and facts. When I read this book, it is as though I am learning anew given its wealth of facts and connections that are obvious after reading, however, had been lost on me prior to being exposed to the book. Who should read this? Educators and students globally, corporate executives, policy makers and scientists. This book is rich and melds the topics of all four constituencies in a hitherto unexplored manner.”—Mr. RehanChaudri, Executive Chairman, Altan Capital.
