The document discusses several key changes in education due to the rise of information technology and open/distance learning models: 1. Students now have excellent basic IT skills and can find information on their own, so teachers serve more as guides rather than sole sources of knowledge. 2. Educational environments are becoming more flexible, responsive, and engaging by using technology to deliver knowledge in new ways and accommodate diverse learners' needs and prerequisites. 3. New approaches and skills are required to manage the challenges of an information-driven society where knowledge becomes a primary commodity and source of competitive advantage.
