Paths

The Modern Classroom

• Three trends driving change in professional

education

– Most efficient learning is done person-to-person

– Technology removing barriers of location/time

– BYOD invading the workspace

• Multi-modal platforms embrace

this change

Person-to-Person Learning

• We are genetically programmed to learn from

others

• This is the most efficient way to transfer

knowledge

• Social media platforms bring this experience

beyond the classroom

The Importance of

Technology

• Technology has had a dramatic effect on the

modern classroom

– Students are always connected

– Learning continues beyond the classroom setting

– Lab environments simulate real-life scenarios

• Continually changing, ensuring that new

methods of training are introduced regularly

Today’s Technology World

• Labs environments

• Hands on activities

• Granulated video

• Remote Support

• Access to social media and course-specific discussions

Prevalence of BYOD

• Everyone has access to the classroom at their

fingertips

• Allows for multiple training delivery platforms

that suit the needs of the student

We Need to Embrace

Learning Systems that

Combine Traditional

and Virtual Learning

Methods

Multi-Modal Learning

Traditional Virtual

Multi-Modal ExamplesTraditional Learning

• Learning in a traditional

classroom environment

• Reliant on a textbook,

instructor and class discussion

• Learning typically ends when

class ends

• No experiential aspect to

training

• Focused on memorizing content

to pass a test vs. truly

understanding content

Multi-Modal Examples

Blended Learning

• Learning in a multi-modal environment

• Multiple tools reinforce learning

- Traditional and digital courseware

- Lab activities

- Granulated videos

- Class discussion

- Continued discussion via social media

• Labs encourage experiential learning

• Reinforces a true understanding of

content

Real-World Applicability

• US Army (CECOM)

• US Navy (CID)
