In the past 10 years, the world witnessed two significant phenomena: the ascent of the fourth industrial revolution and the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two events posed different challenges, but as the world pulls through, one valuable lesson for educators prevails. The pandemic together with a heightened higher education readiness for technology ushers in a new brand of learners and learning. Learners and learning are inherently active. Nurturing a culture of responsiveness is the current narrative as we navigate the bends and nooks of change and uncertainty. This chapter serves as a prelude to the other chapters in this book. It helps redefine and set the context for responsiveness in (individual) learning and learning delivery. Since learners are learning in a multifaceted realm and the aim of learning goes beyond the academic transcript, being responsible is indisputably necessary. The chapter is written with an author from a different end of the globe to signify the most significant way forward for educators around the world (i.e., to work collaboratively). © 2023 by IGI Global.
