New! The Pedagogy of the 21st Century
Timely
This is the decade when the Industrial Age of the
last century goes into decline, and the Internet Age
of this century emerges. It is the decade when your
community or technical college transforms itself
to remain relevant for your communitys economy,
business and workforce needs, and quality of life.
For Senior Decision Makers
As a senior decision maker, you have the responsibility
of infuencing the allocation of both people and capital
resources for your institution. That expenditure can
either be an investment positioning your institution for
success, or an ill-advised wrong direction. This is the
decade in the new century and economy when people
and organizations make the critical decisions whose
effects are felt for decades. Your task, your college, and
your community are too important for you to miss out
on this essential research and perspective.
Information not available anywhere else
Only this seminar will tell you:
Your students are currently driving 37% less than past
young generations, and the implications for your college.
Teleworkers are 25% more effective than offce
workers, and why your college will be training your
students to work from home.
Why your college is the primary, if not only,
educational institution responsible for increasing the
percentage of adults in your community with a four-
year college degree.
How to make your faculty and staff 20% more
productive.
Why Baby Boomers love meetings and your Gen X
and Gen Y faculty and staff hate them.
and much more.
