The traditional student is being replaced by the non-traditional student! And we as instructors need to be aware of this paradigm shift in education!

This was a very good introduction into the role of the instructor as classroom facilitator at ECPI.  As a career college, our goal is to give our students the foundation knowledge and then through skill development, reinforce the relevancy of this knowledge by making the connection between the classroom and the clinic.  This learning module did a succinct job of encompassing this style of learning and making sure we are "student-centric" when teaching and placing the greatest emphasis on retention and demonstration of knowledge not merely GPA.  

This Paradigm in education requires us to move according to the needs and the existance of the none-traditional students. They love to learn concepts that are hormonizing with thier experiences learned in thier work place. A motivated instructor is one who finds way to convey knowlege to them. These concepts can be transferred to these students trough presentation, Audio, Video, special link and case study.
