17. All those emerging realities,
TECHNOLOGY is undoubtedly
considered as the primary
artery of delivering education.
18. The fast and huge transformations due to
globalization and information technology are creating
great impacts on the future of every society,
community, institution and individual in different
parts of the world. Responding to the serious

change fundamentally towards a new paradigm in
order to pursue a new future for our new generations
as well as our society in such a new era of
globalization and transformation. (Cheng, 2002)
