Abstract

This research focuses on the way we perceive information and communications technology (ICT) within educational environments. The analysis establishes a critical link between the rhetoric of ICT and the new language of learning. It considers the new learning language (NLA) defined by Biesta in 2004 as a starting point, establishes that the student is a consumer with needs that must be met and the teacher as the provider that essentially prepares the material that meets the needs of the student. This makes education a product available for student consumption. This new language changes the style of education and questions traditional curricula and shows how other postmodern styles have replaced teaching.
