I remember reading an article in which someone joked that an ipad user, for just about anything, would say: \u2018is there an app for that?\u2019 This I believe is the revolutionary difference with the ipad, the structure that comes with it in which there are a myriad of applications that support users in accessing information and facilitating further development, particularly increasing independence and opportunities for self-paced and self-directed learning and management. In this way the education system will also be perhaps forced to redesign in such a way that content and delivery are associated\/created with supportive software\/processes\/channels within which learners can engage in active and self-directed learning in flexible, anytime, anywhere access that is directly linked to content and can be navigated as needed by the user. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Kerry-Ann<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the ipad a game changer?
