Amos, Yes, so many students have always been in passive learning environments and it may take more coaxing for them to enjoy the courses. Renee Shaffer

Generation "Like"

For those instructors wanting to understand a little more about our upcoming students, this a a nice PBS Frontline program called "Generation Like". Interesting to say the least.  The program talks about marketing and advertising but could easily be talking about higher education.
