The Lost Generation(1883–1900)
• Was named by Ernest Hemingway• Known as “World War I Generation”• Known as the “Generation of Fire”• A generation that was seeking stability• Adhere to specific value system and are
willing to enforce it
The Greatest Generation(1901–1924)
• Named by journalist Tom Brokaw• World war II Generation• Tom stated that “the soldiers fought not for
the fame and recognition, but because it was the right thing to do.”
• Those who stayed home and who returned from the war contributed significantly to industrialization.
The Silent Generation(1925–1942)
• Named after the cover story of Time dated Nov. 5th, 1951.
• It stated their characteristics as “grave and fatalistic, conventional, possessing confused morals, expecting disappointment but desiring faith, and for women, desiring both a career and a family.”
The Baby Boomers (1943–1960) • Describe individuals that were born post world war II
baby boom between 1946 and 1964.• Having fun by having many babies. • Substantial population growth.• Seventy-six million American children were born
between 1945 and 1964.• Known as the “sandwich generation” because they
have to take care of their children and elderly parents.• They are the first to have television. • Rock & roll generation. • Contributed to the expansion of individual freedoms.
Generation X (1961–1981) • Family values are changing. • Teen agers are sleeping together before marriage. • Did not have as many babies. • Not as religious.• Tolerate authority up to a certain extent.• More focused on money than anything. • More females in the work place.• Individualism becoming important. “what is in it for
me”.• Influenced by social changes and problems such as
high divorce rate, HIV and drugs.
Generation Y (1982–2001)
• Higher living costs• More ambitious• Brand conscious• Tend to move jobs more often than previous
generations.• High divorce rate• Working parents• Peer oriented• IPod generation
Generation Z (2001– present)
If you think we have problems now, wait for “Generation Z”
GODHELP US
For now lets worry about the iPOD generation
The iPod Generation1990 - 2000
Characteristics of the iPod Generation
• “Digital Natives” of the Technology Age• Process Information Rapidly• Learn Interactively• Share Knowledge Informally• Group Centric• Constant Connectivity• Require High Levels of Feedback• Value Education
Are They Really That Different?
• Use Increasingly Sophisticated Technology• Shorter Attention Spans• Quicker Reaction & Response• Read More Than Any Other Generation• Difficulty Reasoning & Reflecting• Still Undergoing Brain Development• Face More Challenges Than Ever Before
Is Our Educational SystemDesigned For Them?
• View Lectures as Boring & Uninteresting• Become Easily Disengaged• Used to Learning in a Highly Interactive Way• Need Instant Feedback & Evaluation• Want to Work Smarter Not Harder• Prefer to Seek Information at Their Own Pace• Information Technology Skills May Exceed
Those of Their Teachers
The Impact of Globalization
• Related to Economics & Business• Implications for Education, Health Care, &
Information Technology Sharing• The U.S. is no longer Predominant in terms of
Research, Science, & Technology• Next Generation Needs a Competitive Edge • Gen-Y is the First Generation in Decades that
may not Surpass Previous Ones
Benefits of e-Learning
• Greater Mobility & Convenience• Increases Course Availability• Lowers the Cost of Instruction & Tuition• No Time Constraints for Students/Faculty• Increases Opportunities for Collaboration• Increases Access to Wide Variety of Expertise• Allows Students to Work at Their Own Pace• Creates a Global Learning Community
Challenges of Online Courses
• Interactive Laboratory Exercises• Understanding Difficult Topics• Group Work and Interaction• Instructor/Student Communication• Class Integrity: Attendance and Exams• Retention Rate
Laboratory Ideas
• Campus/Hybrid – Face-to-Face or Online with Labs on Campus
• Simulations – Do not provide practical laboratory skills or measurement, instrumentation, and analysis.
• Commercial Lab Kits – LabPaqs dispel the myth of online lab science
• EXERCISE 1: Using the Microscope• EXERCISE 2: Histology• EXERCISE 3: Classification of Body Membranes• EXERCISE 4: Overview of the Skeletal System• EXERCISE 5: The Axial and Appendicular Skeleton• EXERCISE 6: Joints and Body Movements• EXERCISE 7: Organization of Muscle Tissue• EXERCISE 8: Gross Anatomy of the Muscular System• EXERCISE 9: Muscle Physiology• EXERCISE 10: Organization of Nervous Tissue• EXERCISE 11: Gross Anatomy of the Central Nervous System• EXERCISE 12: Reflex and Sensory Physiology
Examples Of Exercises
Conclusions
• Generational Differences are not Definitive• Observations About Online Learning• Technology can be Used to Enhance
Instruction• Distance Education and Face-to-Face
Instruction can be Equally Effective• Access to Information does not Equal
