"How Professionals Learn
Today—Intentional Learning and the Irrelevance of Textbooks"
The Internet, e-Mail, and other advances in technology have
dramatically changed the way professionals acquire information and
seek new knowledge. While digital technologies offer exciting new
possibilities for the organization and distribution of academic
content, the pedagogy of professional education has changed
relatively little in response. This presentation will explore how
University of Phoenix is reconceptualizing the use of digital tools
and content to teach students to learn the way they will learn as
professionals. |
