New Standards for the New Student?

Much has been made of the "new students" entering our institutions, referring to the Millennial Generation—the next generation in college enrollment. The “Millennials” include a wide range of students, from the digital native—never having known a world without the Internet or computer-mediated environment, to the first-generation college student—unprepared for the culture, and often rigors, of higher education. While colleges have always worked with a diverse, non-traditional student population, this sudden, and simultaneous influx of both technologically sophisticated as well as under-prepared students, present a new set of challenges. In this session, we will explore issues related to teaching these students, with special focus given to the reality occurring in our classrooms.
