As a follow-up to the Dealing With Disruptive Students Dialogue Day, Dr. Mark Taylor will help us understand the academic model most appropriate for today's students in postmodern times. He will discuss the need to recognize the fundamental differences in Generation NeXt from previous generations of students and the poor match between many traditional instructional practices and the needs, desires and tolerances of Generation NeXt. Dr. Taylor will conclude by helping us understand the consumer-based realities of higher education and the absolute necessity to shift from teaching to learning centered environments.
