ABSTRACT:
The generation “Z” was
born into the digital information society, with smartphones, tablet PCs and
social media replacing a huge chunk of the traditional learning tools and
earlier forms of educational enquiry. As this generation of “virtual learners” is
entering into both the workplace and the higher education classrooms, the
yesteryears traditional teaching and learning methods have become obsolete.
Learner-centered instruction designs enabled by modern ICT are taking preference
over expository teaching methods. However, at the same time, most of the
educational sectors have surprisingly lacked behind compared to how modern day
ICT have infiltrated into every sphere of the larger society. In this study, we
contend that even though most academic curriculum has arguably remained the
same since the 1950s (Gonzalez
et al., 2000), there is a looming change that will befall on how
the 21st century education is organized. We use arguments for the
adoption of videography in business education and the entrepreneurship
discipline in particular to elucidate the challenges and competitive landscape
of ICT infiltration into the mainstream academia.
