An interesting take on these generational differences is Morris Massey:

What you are now is what you were when...

There are modern updates to his theory that i was introduced to back in 1985.

One other concept that should be considered for this course is Helicopter parents

Helicopter parenting, defined as overprotective, micromanaging involvement, became prominent with Baby Boomers raising Millennials (Gen Y) in the 1990s/2000s, driven by economic shifts and perceived dangers, but is now increasingly seen in Millennial parents raising Gen Z and Gen Alpha, focusing on self-esteem and success, sometimes leading to indecisiveness in their children. 
Key Generations & Their Parenting Styles:
Baby Boomers (Parents): Often the original "helicopter parents," hovering over their Millennial children to ensure success, sometimes overly involved due to economic prosperity and anxiety.
Generation X (Parents):… >>>

One thing that should also be considered for new teachers, and managers and administrators of new teachers, is that the upcoming generations are also part of the Cancel Culture... 

If they don't like a restaurant - they will post it on social media, and others will do the same.

Likewise, if a new teacher struggles and the Cohort doesn't like the teacher, they will make their dissatisfaction known and Cancel the teacher.

Wise program directors, department chairs, and deans should make extra effort to bring in new teachers, especially those of Silent, Baby Boomers or Gen X when teaching Gen… >>>

The internet originally was provided as a means to increase communication and access to information... Google searches provided real information.

As time goes on, the internet is riddled with inaccurate information, spin, whatever the funding paying the researcher wants to discuss, or MSM story that they want to convey to the sheep.

It is no longer about access to information, it is about discernment of which information is true, or accurate... This used to be done in the library with scientific publication... now anyone with an opinion can post content and sell it to make it believable.

The first answer to thinking break in this module only say "IT". 

Why is it important for instructors to ask learners to orally defend why they answered a question or solved a problem as they did?

In the Nuclear Navy, assurity would be tested by asking the student if they would "Bet a coke/soda on it".  Sometimes the student was "sure enough in his answer" to say yes... and the student or instructor would buy a soda and provided it to the winning party.  More often than not, the student was wrong... but not always, and at time the instructor would pay out just to test the student.

Sometimes the student… >>>

The US Navy nuclear power program had 6 months of intense (8-4 pm) classroom instruction, followed by 6 months of on hands shift work prototype training operating a nuclear power plant, which was a lot like a "flipped classroom".

When i was an instructor at prototype, students had to study and receive checkouts on theory, systems and operations, documented by signatures in their "qual card".  These checkouts, and watchstanding were done one-on-one.

In several instances, i could tell a student was not understanding the theory, and as the instructor, i needed to help them understand the concepts: I would explain… >>>

it seems UDL is just a "structure" to address the different types of learners: Auditory, Visual, Kinesteic... and to let those different types of learners express their knowledge in the ways that best suits them. 

Is this really new? 

For Career Technical education (electricians, mechanics, plumbers, etc) some of the "service opportunities are limited because of legal aspects... having a student work on something they are not offcially qualified to work on.  Brings up liability issues with both the university, and the hosting organization. 

Does anyone know what 1100 organizations that have service learning, what the service learning is? What they do for service?
