Today, higher education needs to engage a new type of student-- those born after 1982, known variously as “21st Century Student”, “Net Generation Learners”, “Millennial Student”, “Generation Y”, or “Digital-natives”. For these students technology is at the center of their learning, interaction and information. These students are engaged in their learning and prefer visual and kinesthetic activities.
Instructors are responding to the needs and learning styles of these new students by developing engaging online content which contains a wide variety of media. High quality video content, combined with the technology of CollegeAnywhere enables instructors to successfully create the desired engaging learning environment for these students.
Instead of pre-defined chunks of content, the CollegeAnywhere search engine and bookmarking tools provide instructors a quick and easy way to find specific content they need to enhance a lesson, in the format and length they want, and add it to their online courses, seamlessly. These tools are instructor-centric and were designed by instructors and instructional designers to give your faculty absolute flexibility and control.
Other CA products and services designed for the instructor include an easy to use content management tool, a live online conferencing tool and our CMS hosting services. Contact us for more information.
