Paths
The Modern Classroom
• Three trends driving change in professional
education
– Most efficient learning is done person-to-person
– Technology removing barriers of location/time
– BYOD invading the workspace
• Multi-modal platforms embrace
this change
Person-to-Person Learning
• We are genetically programmed to learn from
others
• This is the most efficient way to transfer
knowledge
• Social media platforms bring this experience
beyond the classroom
The Importance of
Technology
• Technology has had a dramatic effect on the
modern classroom
– Students are always connected
– Learning continues beyond the classroom setting
– Lab environments simulate real-life scenarios
• Continually changing, ensuring that new
methods of training are introduced regularly
Today’s Technology World
• Labs environments
• Hands on activities
• Granulated video
• Remote Support
• Access to social media and course-specific discussions
Prevalence of BYOD
• Everyone has access to the classroom at their
fingertips
• Allows for multiple training delivery platforms
that suit the needs of the student
We Need to Embrace
Learning Systems that
Combine Traditional
and Virtual Learning
Methods
Multi-Modal Learning
Traditional Virtual
Multi-Modal ExamplesTraditional Learning
• Learning in a traditional
classroom environment
• Reliant on a textbook,
instructor and class discussion
• Learning typically ends when
class ends
• No experiential aspect to
training
• Focused on memorizing content
to pass a test vs. truly
understanding content
Multi-Modal Examples
Blended Learning
• Learning in a multi-modal environment
• Multiple tools reinforce learning
- Traditional and digital courseware
- Lab activities
- Granulated videos
- Class discussion
- Continued discussion via social media
• Labs encourage experiential learning
• Reinforces a true understanding of
content
Real-World Applicability
