“The Innovators Dilemma”Christensen • Disruptive innovation theory • Sustaining institutions/models • Disruption of tradition occurs • Prevalence High-quality online learning, rise of for profit schools, recession, etc. • Universities respond with changing “DNA”
21st Century Pedagogy • Dynamic teaching • Multiple forms of engagement • Combine active and ‘passive’ learning/thinking (e.g., flipped classrooms) • Interdisciplinary approach • Global challenges/diversity • Application of learning • Develop group learning/collaboration • Problem solving through interactive learning • Include experiences outside of classroom • Use digital media, internet and social networking • Collaborative learning/problem solving
Changes in student populations • Digital natives taught by digital immigrants • Weak -interpersonal skills, face to face communication and problem solving skills • Digital, global, information economy • Internets larger than life impact • Parents and students treat higher ed as a business – customers vs. traditional students • Depth vs. breadth of learning • Encounter/expect multicultural/global curriculum • Interactive learning-Internships, mentorships and more • Students and parents expect career services day 1 • Learn multiple roles
