The way we learn has shifted from the traditional classroom setting to online learning, which is growing in popularity as we practice social distancing. In line with that there has also been an emergence of new careers and skills to support the digital world that we live in. The careers are supported by new fields of study at tertiary institutions that embrace is 4th industrial revolution.
