We learn from classroom instruction, as well as our understanding of the world, and from our peers.
According to Tridib Roy Chowdhury, the lead developer for Adobe's e-Learning applications, ten years from now the average mid level manager will be a digital native.
Digital natives are tech savvy. They use technology in ways that at one point were only dreamed of in Science Fiction movies or DC comics.
At the same time, learners and instructors have a plethora of tools at our disposal that could enhance the learning experience.
Trainers and instructors don't have to be fearful or overwhelmed by the changes in education. This is a great time to be teaching because we have the opportunity to interact with our students on a different level.
Change is good. Change is necessary.
