This document discusses the changing nature of today's college students and how educational approaches need to adapt. It notes that traditional teaching methods no longer work with the "new learner" who is anxious, constantly connected, and more demanding. Today's students need accommodations for various disabilities and lifestyles. They also desire more mobility through study abroad and internships. The document suggests engaging students through challenges and real-world problems rather than traditional lecturing. It advocates delivering content online but using the classroom for discussion. Social media is transforming the entire college experience through tools like prospective student networking portals and mobile audio channels. The biggest takeaway is that instructors need new training methods focused on teaching students how to learn rather than what to learn
