Abstract
The global education reform movement is searching for new models for twenty-first century pedagogy. A worldwide agreement exists that learners need to know how to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems through negotiation and cooperation (Scott, 2015, p.1). Learners also need support when using new tools for working and familiarizing themselves with various types of information and communication technologies.
