Certiport-sponsored White Paper Profiles Millennial Students
‘Learning in the 21 Century: Teaching Today's Students on Their Terms' gives educators a blueprint for adapting learning to more fully engage students
SALT LAKE CITY — November 10, 2008
Certiport today announced the release of a white paper that helps define the learning characteristics of the rising generation of students who leverage technology to interface with the world around them. Collaboratively produced by members of the International Education Advisory Board (IEAB), "Learning in the 21st Century: Teaching Today's Students on Their Terms" provides insight into how millennial students learn and ways in which educators can better engage them through best-practice teaching methods using technology.
Teachers can use the white paper to gain a greater understanding of the learning styles of Millennial students. With this knowledge, they can adapt their teaching practice and update their curriculum to engage and support today's learners. Others, including parents, courseware designers and curriculum developers, can leverage the whitepaper to recognize characteristics unique to Millennial students—such as willingness to take risks, group orientation and environmental control.
