Gina Luttrell gave a presentation on teaching neomillennial students in higher education. She discussed myths about neomillennials and presented research showing they are smarter than previous generations. However, existing education theories do not fully address neomillennial learning styles. Luttrell proposed four pedagogical shifts involving co-design, co-instruction, social constructivist learning, and new forms of assessment. She also discussed the LIGO method and drawbacks to adopting new technologies. Luttrell incorporates many technologies into her own classroom and challenges educators to adapt to neomillennial expectations and learning styles.

Traditional learning theories do not provide adequate explanations to derive such competencies as they are limited on closed learning environments. By contrast, theories of Bildung entail an additional dimension which can be regarded as the “ability to go beyond the present state of affairs and to transform the structures and prevailing rules of this form of life” (Peukert, 2003: 106). Our aim is to explore the extent to which Bildung can provide open education with a theoretical framework, and, conversely, the ways in which open education promotes a more holistic or progressive model of education. Our focus here will not be exclusive-ly on OER: it will be stressed that ‘openness’ in education necessarily shifts the focus from content (OER) to practices (OEP) that are necessary for the use of that content (Mackey & Jacobson, 2011, p. 62; cf. Weller, 2011).
We argue (1) that there are significant potentials to elicit or encourage Bildung through the use of OER, such as throughproviding open access to a rich base of materials from various cultural contexts. In this process of engaging with multiple and complex resources it can be assumed that a transformation of the way in which the individual is approaching learning is likely to happen. The reflections of these experiences are education-al and a key factor for the theoretical underpinning of OER. We go on to suggest (2) that the beliefs and val-ues associated with Bildung – including autonomy, critical reflection, inclusivity and the rejection of univer-sal narratives – are suitable for providing a theoretical framework for OER as well as providing a critical lens through which to assess contemporary educational models in practice (e.g. Liessman, 2006).

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
Developing information literacy through Web 2.0: a research proposal about t...Florent Michelot
Presented at Canada International Conference on Education 2017 at University of Toronto Mississauga.
This research project aims to test the connectivist pedagogical approach in order to develop learners’ Metaliteracy (i.e. information literacy), specifically with regard to information evaluation skills. To this end, the aim is to develop a mixed methodology, framed by a social cognitive learning epistemology in the context of which critical thinking is interpreted as a cognitive self-regulation strategy.
Measuring student engagement with learning technologyDavid Havens
The nature of education, interaction, and engagement is rapidly changing as new modes of communication and
technologies enter the hands of learners. While teachers are the greatest lynchpin for keeping students and
classrooms engaged, there are many features tech tools can employ to help. For maximum engagement, technology
tools in learning must appeal to social motivation, have opportunities for creativity, personalize the content and
experience, engage a mentor or teacher, and provide interactivity and immediate feedback. Measuring this
engagement must combine insights from both qualitative and quantitative data.
Summary
It is unquestionable that we have a process of change and innovation in the Spanish University system. The new European Framework of Education at Universities (EEES), will have important changes. Not only changes in the formative itinerary of university degrees, but also in the establishment of teaching-learning methodologies with the purpose to develop key competences in future Spanish professionals.
From that perspective, the introduction of participative methodologies in classrooms is going to deal with relevant learnings; basic abilities for the learning are going to be developed. It allows new possibilities to develop teaching, as well as overcome the traditional concept of classroom. This report gets the opinions and aspects of the students in the case of teachers’ degrees: Speciality of Childhood Education, related to the application of innovative teaching-learning strategies in their formation, facing the incorporation of the EEES

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Session Overview
Students are different.
Our teaching needs to reflect newer learning styles.
Neomillennial students (born 1981+) require a
transformative learning approach that goes beyond
content knowledge acquisition. This presentation
explores what can be done in collegiate settings to
better assess and educate the neomillennial students by
examining pedagogical shifts in higher education.

9. What’s the Truth?
There is evidence that Neomillennials are the
smartest generation ever. (Howe & Strauss, 2000; Tapscott, 2009)
Between 1997 and 2005 the number of students
taking AP exams more than doubled and raw IQ
scores climbed by three points since World War II
(Tapscott, 2009).
Neomillennial learners believe:
being smart is a good trait to possess, and
these learners see themselves as part of the success
of the future (Tapscott, 1999, 2009).
10. Education at a Crossroad
Existing educational theories emphasize that
learning & development occur through specific
activities.
Learning is:
an individual process
which occurs alone,
With a definitive beginning and end;
learning is best separated from other activities,
and
that learning is the product of education.Wenger, E. (1998), Communities of practice: Learning. meaning, and identity,
New York, NY: Cambridge University Press.
11. Education at a Crossroad
Teachers are the link between pedagogical
procedures and the students’ learning.
In this new learning environment students are
encouraged to be creative & critical thinkers (Shulman,
2004; Mezirow, 1997).
Learning methodologies utilized by
Neomillennials points to a more self-directed
learning style, whereby the teacher encourages
and nurtures independent learning (Baird & Fischer, 2005).
12. Pedagogical Shifts
Instruction is most efficient when students engage in activities
within an environment and when they receive appropriate
guidance (Baird & Fischer, 2005; Dede, 2005; Weisgerber &
Butler, 2005; Vygotsky, 1978).
Four pedagogical shifts that educators should implement and
learn when attempting to effectively teach neomillennial
learners:
1. Co-Design: Developing learning experiences students can personalize
2. Co-Instruction: Utilizing knowledge sharing among students as a major
source of content and pedagogy
3. Guided Social Constructivist and Situated Learning Pedagogies: Infusing
case-based participatory simulations into presentational/assimilative
instruction
4. Assessment Beyond Tests and Papers: Evaluating collaborative, non-
linear, associational webs of representations; utilizing peer-developed
and peer-rated forms of assessment; student assessments provide
formative feedback on faculty effectiveness. (Dede, 2005) [italics in
original]
13. Intersection of Learning
Theories
With numerous theories on learning (Asch 1968; Brown, Collins, &
Duguid, 1989; Dewey, 1916, Gagne, 1985; Mezirow, 1997; Piaget,
1977), none of which are used exclusively, educators can use a
combination of theories.
Constructivist, behaviorist, and cognitive learning theories build
upon the next and intersect, continually keeping the learner at the
center. In online learning, knowledge is acquired through various
approaches including peer assessment, group projects, social
interaction, mentor/mentee support, email correspondence, online
forums and discussion, self-assessment activities, and detailed
directions of learning materials. Constructivis
t
BehavioristCognitive
Learner
14. Intersection of Learning
Theories
Instruction is most efficient when students can
engage in activities within a supportive
learning environment and when students
receive appropriate guidance that is
supplemented with the right course materials
(Anderson, 2004; Claxton & Murrell, 1987;
Torres, 1993).
For example:
synchronous or asynchronous chat
discussion forums
email, podcasting, blogging, and microblogging
15. LIGO Method
Nicol, Minty & Sinclair developed the LIGO
method to assess how learners interact and
communicate with other learners
LIGO: The Learning: The Individual, The Group &
the Organization
The LIGO method was structured around five learning
milestones tasks that were related to the main content
areas:
curriculum design,
models of learning and of supporting learning,
student assessment,
the learning organization,
evaluation.
Nicol, D. J., Minty, I., & Sinclair, C. (2003). The social dimensions of online
learning. Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 40(3), pp. 270–
280.
16. LIGO Method
The LIGO method assumes that learners
construct knowledge through active
engagement with course materials, including
the text, and through interaction and dialogue
with others, supported by the aforementioned
learning theories.
Behaviorist, cognitive, and constructivism
theories combined with the LIGO method
could assess the methods of learning via
online tools.
17. Drawbacks & Criticisms
Too much multi-tasking, diverts attention & retention of
course material
Assumption that students know how to use newer
technologies – social media
The shift from traditional education principles is
causing controversy for many faculty members at
colleges and universities across the globe
Some argue that a degree of unlearning needs to occur
regarding unconscious beliefs, assumptions, and values
about the nature of teaching and learning (Dede, 2005).
Faculty & administrators will likely dismiss and resist
implementing technologies which incorporate synchronous
or asynchronous chat, discussion forums, email,
podcasting, blogging, and microblogging (Dede, 2005; Smith, 2010).
18. A Peek Inside my Classroom

19. Final Thought
Neomillennial students have been raised in a
techno-driven, continuously connected
environment of interactive media, the Internet,
and innumerable digital technologies.
To believe that today’s students has different
expectations and learning styles is not
unrealistic
(Baird & Fischer, 2005; Dahlstrom et al., 2011; de Corte, 1996; Dede, 2004; Dede, 2005; Dieterle et al., 2007; Smith, 2010).
Will you rise to the challenge?
The theories represented here exemplify the learner being at the center of the educational realm. The educator encourages participation among students through engaging discourse, autonomous thinking, and discovery through various classroom methods which allow for natural creative inquiry to occur (King, 2005; Mezirow, 1997). Ultimately, cognition occurs when students can seek out, sieve through, and synthesize data from a variety of sources while multitasking among contrasting informational sources, yet still maintain focus (Dede, 2005; King, 2005). Through continual reflection and sharing of experiences, students learn the course material (de Corte, 1996; Dede, 2004, 2005). Optimum cognitive development is dependent upon interaction of the learner with other learners and the educator (Dede, 2005; Garrison & Anderson, 2003; Vygotsky, 1978).
Social networking sites are conducive for research surrounding student outcomes in relation to using social networking sites in learning because social networking sites embody active engagement, conversation, and interaction (Baker, 2009; Boyd & Ellison, 2009).
