Personally, given the demographic makeup of the classes that I am seeing today, I think CareerEd ignores generational theory completely by mandating that textbooks be used. In my class, the required text (required by CareerEd not chosen by me) is a waste of time and money and my students do not read the assignments. As discussed in this class, Millenials/Gen Yers, especially those in career-based institutions, want to see connections with real life experiences; they like to use technology; and have shorter attention spans requiring shorter pieces to read like articles or websites versus chapters in a textbook. Older students also like reading the articles. I think it is a shame that our students are required to purchase a book they will never use and that instructors are required to assign homework from those books.
