Your e-learning platform needs to = data mining. Data is only as powerful as the analytics and information you get from it and how you apply it.

"4IR is writing a new chapter in humanity. The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data." Mr Abeya MD of teachhub

The implementation of e-learning improves the quality of education and reduces the costs. Students can learn and lecturers can teach from anywhere, anytime. It brings learning to life and creates an engaging learning environment. Mrs Mabuza from Tagit.

According to Mr Mlotshwa, President of SACPO, "4IR is about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policy makers and people from all income groups and nations, to harness converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centred future. The real opportunity is to look beyond technology and find ways to give the greatest number of people the ability to positively impact their families, organisations and communities."

If more than half the world is denied access to the means of communication, the people of developing countries will not be fully part of the modern world. For in the 21st century, the capacity to communicate will almost certainly be a key human right." Nelson Mandela

"TVET's need to be a catalyst for change and be a community of practices. The curriculum needs to be innovated, adaptive and relevant. TVET's should not be seen as a last choice, but a first choice for education" Mrs Anna-Frampong, CEO TETA

Dr Thotsejane from NSFAS emphasizes the importance to make 4IR applicable to South Africa. Curriculum needs to be Afrocentric. We need to look at the societal and business challenges when designing curriculum for 4IR. How would we apply self-driven cars in the middle of townships, where we have people starving. Instead we need to re-purpose 4IR for South Africa. Save lives in mines and deploy robots there... Just a thought. We need to own the proudly South Africa name, wifi needs to be for everyone and needs to be manufactured in South Africa. If data analytics becomes key, how do we unlock this for the benefits of learners and educators?

7 pillars for success to move the TVET's into the 4th Industrial Revolution.

65% of primary school learners will be applying for jobs that do not exist at present. How do you prepare for this? Technology and innovation need to be the driver to develop the skills required.

Professor Adendorff states that by 2023 we will be seeing the 5th industrial revolution. So how do we ensure that we have succeeded in the 4th IR by then? The 4th IR is complex because it blurs the lines between the physical and digital. AI, IOT and Blochchain technologies are at the center of 4IR. How do we ensure we are prepared for this? It is going to be imperative to have developed the skills for innovation. The sills that the workforce are now looking at will be tech and digital savviness. We need to be catering for the modern learning and creating an environment for life long learning. by 2030 students will be learning more from robots that our teachers today... what a thought... do you agree? Are we ready?
