Abstract

Higher education institutions face much disruption in the Fourth Industrial Age. The rapid changes in the workplace demand that university graduates exhibit competencies beyond discipline-specific knowledge. To thrive in a complex world filled with rapid advancements in knowledge and technology, graduates must possess lifelong learning skills, think critically and creatively, be socially intelligent, resilient, and adaptive. The demand for these transferable skills requires universities to re-examine their curriculum design, assessment, and delivery methods to ensure learners know, develop, and culminate these skills upon graduation. This chapter explains how this can be achieved through a paradigm shift in the teaching and learning approach by reducing face-to-face teaching to enable greater interaction in the classroom, opportunities for expression, the building of character and other life skills whilst promoting more self-directed and independent learning. Lecturers should revolutionize the way they teach and develop the 21st century competencies skills among the students.
