Digital media and technologies are transforming what, how, and where learning occurs – as well as what counts as knowledge. While learning has never been confined to the classroom, the opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge and skills in informal contexts such as tutorials, online communities, MOOCs, and digital games, among others, have grown enormously. Anticipating, documenting and detailing these shifts are the central challenges to learning in the digital age.
