The advent of Society 5.0 that leverages advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and internet of things has posed new challenges on the meanings and understandings of learning and teaching. This poster presents a study that was undertaken at one university using quasi-experiments to better understand how new digital techniques such as chat-GPT, avatars, cloud computing collaborations and meta-verse enhance learning and teaching at higher education and how these new ways of learning and teaching compel new understandings and meanings of learning and teaching under materially new societal conditions. Furthermore, the study probed the new mediation of learning in terms of human lecturers and artificial intelligence collaborations leading to a new approach to online learning tentatively called telagogy, a web-based learning that leverages human lecturers and artificial intelligence collaborations to effect learning that uses digital techniques such as chat-GPT, avatars, meta-verse and many other such techniques. Lecturers of advanved undergraduates formed part of this project and selected 15 students esch (N=15) to participate in the experiments. Preliminary findings show that as learning goes online, the role of human lecturers would go on the background and shift towards materials development and new learning and assessment techniques that will be fed into the digital system to enhance telagogy.
