More Effective Use of Class Time

Faculty members have always faced time constraints when planning their courses, but the information age is now making it even harder to decide what to cover in a semester…and what to leave out.

The exponential growth of Internet data access has made the professors role as central content provider less critical.

This means reevaluating teaching methods, revising syllabi, and making more effective use of class time.

Students today can access plentiful information on their own; what they need most now are skills in how to analyze, apply, and make meaning of the data and other resources they encounter.

This is a fundamental paradigm shift which changes the way professors conduct business in the classroom.

Are you ready to embrace the future learning model?
